Aerogel has largely been used as insulation for the spacecraft and industrial facilities. As the building energy saving is more and more important, high-performing insulation like Aerogel will be required in buildings to improve their thermal environment and to save building energy. In case of reinforced super-insulation, the existing resistive insulation should be used as thick as 250mm, but Aerogel could meet the same performance with half thickness of 120mm. Thanks to the reduced thickness of insulation, Aerogel has the advantage in applying to high-rise buildings and it is believed to gather the interests of construction companies which have difficulty in solving the strick insulating problem.
