Thermal Insulation and Health: the Growing Attention to VOCs

Thermal insulation represents a crucial element not only for energy saving and living comfort, but also for the health of the occupants. Recent studies have shown how proper management of thermal comfort in buildings can prevent health problems related to extreme temperatures, reducing thermal stress and heat-related illnesses. The adoption of advanced insulation systems allows to maintain an optimal internal temperature, significantly contributing to the psychophysical well-being of the inhabitants.
