CEN Workshop 36 - Evaluation of thin multi-layer Reflective Insulation Products by in situ testing

The overall objective of the Workshop is to reach consensus on an in situ test protocol that fully assesses the thermal reflective characteristics of thin multi-layer reflective insulating products. For the purposes of the Workshop and the resulting CWA the thin multi-layer reflective insulating products to be considered shall have a minimum of five layers (as decided at the kick-off meeting).

The individual objectives of the Workshop are to reach consensus on:

·         a set of requirements for an enclosed structure representing a building envelope which will be subject to periods of testing under normal climatic conditions by outdoor exposure;

·         a set of conditions under which the structure will be operated, in order to measure the thermal performance of the building envelope;

·         a set of conditions for the installation of insulation products inside the envelope structure;

·         a set of conditions for the measurement of the energy used during the test periods;

·         a set of conditions for the analysis of the results of parallel and identical test structures fitted with differing insulation products;

·         a set of principles for the reporting of the results.
