DYNAMIC INSULATION
Its a form of insulation where cool outside airflowing through the thermal insulation in theenvelope will pick up heat from the insulationfibers.
The overall heat transfer coefficient is nolonger constant.
It varies with the speed of air flowing throughthe insulation.

Permeable walls
Dynamic insulation requires permeable wallssuch that when building is depressurized aircan flow from outside to inside through theinsulation.
This type of Dynamic insulation is mainly usedin cold climate where main energy use is forheating

DYNAMIC INSULATION
As air flows inwards, it picks up the heat thatis being conducted outside by the insulationglass.
It serves two purposes:1. Reduces the heat loss.
2. Pre-warmed air is pumped indoor.

Mechanical ventilation
Dynamic insulation requires a mechanicalventilation with heat recovery.
For example for air to be drawn continuouslythrough the walls a fan is needed to hold thebuilding at a pressure of 5 to 10 pascals belowthe ambient pressure.

SCIENCE OF DYNAMIC INSULATION
consider an ideal case of one-dimensionalsteady state heat conduction and air flowthrough a uniform sample of air permeableinsulation.

Disadvantages
For a vertical internal surface this thermalresistance has a value of 0.13 m 2 K/W. [6] In adynamically insulated wall.
As the conduction heat flow into the wallincreases then so does the temperature dropacross this internal thermal resistanceincrease.
The wall surface temperature will becomeincreasingly colder.

Dynamic insulation materials
Insulations such as polyurethane (PUR)boards, which due to their micro-structure,are not air permeable are not suitable fordynamic insulation.
Insulations such as rock wool, glass wool,sheep's wool, cellulose are all air permeableand so can be used in a dynamically insulatedenvelope

Air control layer
The maximum depressurization for adynamically insulated building is normallylimited to 10 Pa in order to avoid doors
slamming shut or difficulty in op The function of the air control layer in a
dynamically insulated wall or ceiling is providesufficient resistance to the air flow to achievethe required pressure drop at the design airflow rate.

Air control layer The permeability of a material to air flow, , (m 2/hPa)
is defined as the volume of air that flows through acube of material 1m X 1m X 1m in one hour

Design of a dynamically insulatedbuilding
Assume a house of 100 m 2 floor area with adynamically insulated ceiling.
air change rate for good air quality. 2.4m height,100 square meter area, lets say in
one hour the entire volume of air must bereplaced, we have air flow rate of 240m 3/hr.
Next the material for the air control layer ischosen to provide a suitable air flow rate at thechosen depressurization, taken as 10 Pa in thiscase

Design of a dynamically insulatedbuilding
For a 12mm thick sheet of fiberboard thisgives, for the maximum pressure difference of10 Pa, an air flow rate of 1.12 m 3/h per m 2 ofceiling.
This is equivalent to an air speed through theceiling of 1.12 m/h or 0.31 mm/s.
