ABSTRACT:
This invention refers to a new method of thermal insulation of buildings, with a diffused reflection of the thermal radiation and a diffused reflection of the thermal transition of the air.
The practical implementation is made with two manners.
1. With a diffused reflection of the thermal radiation and a diffused reflection of the thermal transition of the air, from the internal and the external surfaces of the sub-layers of the external masonry, of the external roofs, the internal masonry and the internal ceilings of the buildings.
2. With a low emission of thermal radiation, with a diffused reflection of thermal radiation and a diffused reflection of thermal transition of the air, from the internal surfaces of a parallel plane division with an enclosed layer of air, which is constructed at the internal side of the sub-layers of the external. masonry and the external roofs of the buildings.
The diffused reflection of the thermal radiation and the diffused reflection of the thermal transition of the air, as well as the low emission of thermal radiation, are attained with a liquid reflective insulating (heat insulating and sealing) material, white colored, used to cover the surfaces of the above sub-layers and which constitute the final surface of these sub-layers.
The white colored liquid reflective insulating material, is manufactured in three types A, B and C, and can be colored with the addition of coloring pigments, and following its practical application, in a solid form (after it dries), it does not dilute in water.
The loss of heating energy and cooling energy of internal spaces of buildings, through the sub-layers of the external masonry and the external roofs of the buildings, as well as, through the sub-layers of their internal masonry and their internal ceilings, which are close to non-heated and non-cooled closed spaces, are due to:
The absorption of an important quantity of energy, by the falling thermal radiation and the falling thermal transition of the air, from the internal and the external surfaces of these sub-layers.
The absorbed energy is transformed into heat and is transmitted with thermal convection inside these sub-layers.
The absorption of an important quantity of energy, by the internal and external surfaces of these sub-layers, is due to the following reasons:
1. The internal and external surfaces of the above sub-layers are non-reflective, because they are moderately electrically conductive, externally and non-heat-insulating.
Being moderately electrically conductive, externally, these surfaces absorb the larger part of energy from the falling thermal radiation, because the energy equilibrium of their mass is disturbed at an important degree.
Being non-heat-insulating, these surfaces absorb the larger part of energy, of the falling thermal transition of the air, because the energy equilibrium of their mass is disturbed at an important degree.
2. The internal and external surfaces of the above sub-layers are mainly consisting of a set of millions of microscopic concave surfaces, of an irregular and different shape, for each single concave microscopic surface.
The concave microscopic surfaces increase the surface on which falls the thermal radiation and the thermal transition of the air and absorb an important quantity of energy, because:
a) They absorb (focus, concentrate) the thermal radiation which falls over them, due to the successive reflections of electromagnetic waves, over every concave, microscopic surface, FIG.

b) They absorb (focus, concentrate) the thermal transition of the air that falls over them, due to the successive reflections of the atoms of the mass molecules of the air at a higher temperature, on every concave, microscopic surface, FIG.

The concave, microscopic surfaces absorb an important quantity of energy from the sound waves (from the oscillations of the air pressure) which fall on them, because:
They absorb (focus, concentrate) the sound waves (the oscillations of the air pressure) which fall on them, due to the successive reflections of the sound waves, on every concave, microscopic surface, FIG.

Until this day, the conventional heat insulation of the internal spaces of buildings, is being used with the addition of heat insulating material inside the sub-layers of the external masonry and the external roofs of the buildings, as well as their sub-layers of their internal masonry and their internal ceilings, which are in contact to non-heated and non-cooled closed spaces.
The heat insulating material that is being added, does not form the final surface of these sub-layers.
With the addition of a heat insulating material inside the above sub-layers, the resistance to heat-leak 1/&Lgr; is increased and the coefficient of heat transfer K (coefficient of heat permeability) is decreased, having as a result the decrease of heating energy and cooling energy losses of internal spaces of sub-layers of buildings, through these sub-layers.
The heat transfer coefficient K, is the same for losses of heating and cooling energy, through each of the above sub-layers of the building materials and structural element.
The conventional heat insulation of the internal spaces of buildings presents the following disadvantages:
1. A large consumption of energy is required, having as a result, the pollution of the environment.
The increased consumption of energy is due to the following reasons:
a) The manufacture of large quantities of heat-insulating materials and their transport.
b) The manufacture of large quantities of sealing materials, for the protection of the heat-insulating capacity of the heat-insulating materials.
1. A large consumption of energy and a high heating and cooling costs of the internal spaces of buildings, are required for the following reasons:
a. To the losses of heating energy, at the starting of the heating operation of internal spaces of buildings.
b. To the losses of heating and cooling energy, from the protrusions of the concrete (thermal-bridges) of the roofs and facades of the buildings.
c. To the increased losses of heating energy and cooling energy, of the internal spaces of the buildings, because the further decrease of these losses is uneconomical.
2. The effective surface of the internal spaces of buildings is decreased due to the increase of the thickness of the external masonry.
3. The great cost for the insulation of new and existing non-insulated buildings, due to the long duration of the insulation works.
4. Great erection cost for new buildings, due to the large insulating costs and the decrease of the effective surface of the internal spaces of these buildings.
The energy-saving heat insulation of the buildings, with a diffused reflection of the thermal radiation and diffused reflection of the thermal transition of the air, is a new method for the heat insulation of buildings.
Its practical application is realized with two manners, that is:
1. With a diffused reflection of thermal radiation and with a diffused reflection of thermal transition of the air, from the internal and external surfaces of the sub-layers of external masonry, the external roofs, the internal masonry and the internal ceilings of the buildings.
2. With a low emission of thermal radiation, with a diffused reflection of thermal radiation and a diffused reflection of thermal transition of the air, from the internal surfaces of a parallel plane division with an enclosed layer of air, which is constructed at the internal side of the sub-layers of the external masonry and the external roofs of the buildings.
The know-how for its construction, transforms the non-insulating and non-reflective internal and external surfaces of the sub-layers of the external and the internal masonry, the external roofs and the internal ceilings of the buildings, as well as the internal surfaces of the parallel level division with an enclosed air layer, into heat-insulating and reflective to the thermal radiation and to the thermal transition of the air, as follows:
These surfaces are covered with a white colored liquid reflective insulating (hea
