Study on the Factors Affecting in Situ Measurement of the Thermal Resistance of Building Elements

Abstract

A current global effort is being made in order to find solutions that will limit global warming. The building sector is responsible for the highest share of total energy consumption, which requires the continuous development of strategies to increase buildings energy efficiency. Considering the high share of emissions generated by buildings, improving buildings energy performance can significantly slow down global warming.
