Examples of eco-friendly insulation
There are various types of Eco-friendly insulation. The most common and primitive type is known as the Earth sheltering insulation method or earth house and annualized geo solar. It has been around for nearly as long as humans have been constructing their shelters. It simply is like having your house covered by some earth and allows vegetation to grow on top of it. Nanogel is another type, consisting of 95% air in nano-sized pores. Greensulate is a type of insulating material that is made of mixture of agricultural by-product with mushrooms grown into it. Heat pump and refrigeration cycle is an alternative to having insulation in the walls of a home. It is a machine that can be used for heating or cooling a house.
