6TE501: Heat Insulation Report

This report, submitted for the course 'Innovation in Sustainable Engineering Design' (6TE501), focuses on heat insulation. It addresses the problem of energy loss due to inadequate insulation, highlighting the increasing global energy consumption and the need for alternative energy solutions. The report proposes a solution involving the development of a cost-effective heat insulation product capable of storing and converting solar energy into usable energy. A SWOT analysis is included to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed solution. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of heat insulation as a means of conserving energy and reducing reliance on depleting resources. The report cites relevant references on thermal insulation.

Introduction
Heat insulation is the reduction of heat transfer among objects in thermal contact. There are
effective changes are noted down in the different segments that get changed in effective manner
that include global warming, increase in the sea level and shrinking snow cover.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of this research study is to solve the problem related to the loss of the heat with the
help of adequate product that helps in saving the heat energy.
Problem Statement
The problem statement that motivate to do this research study is the loss of the heat due to
absence of proper insulation product that insulate the heat and utilise it for different purpose. It is
well known that there is effective fall is noted down in the energy resources as there is effective
and continuous increase in the worldwide population. With the increase in population there is
effective increase in the consumption of the available energy resources. Within a house different
energy resources are utilised for different purpose such as room heating, hot water, process heat
or cooking, light and miscellaneous. In these household activities huge share of energy resource
is utilised such as LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas), electricity and others. If all these energy
resources are consumed on regularly basis then soon these resources get exhausted.
Proposed Solution
In order to resolve the problem there is one effective solution is available that render
adequate support. There is requirement of producing such product that perform as the heat
insulator and utilised for the purpose of heat insulation. This heat insulation product is further
processed for the purpose of converting the stored heat into useful energy. The price of this
product is settled with the benefits rendered by this product only. Sunlight is the major source
that rendered adequate energy which can be stored effectively. In order to store the sunlight the
solar panel technology is already available but then also there is lots of sunlight energy get
wasted although the set up cost of solar panel system is high and not affordable by everyone. So

there is requirement of such product that considered as reasonable and helps in storing maximum
sunlight so that stored energy get utilised for further purpose
SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis provides a structure for evaluating either your own strengths and weaknesses,
and the opportunities and risks you face, or in a work context for analysing the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats a business or event faces. It helps you to;
1. appreciate the strengths of a condition, and you may then decide to build on these;
2. define the weaknesses, which you might choose to minimise;
3. recognise the possible threats and treat them in a planned and organised way.
The SWOT Analysis is playing a serious role of the project planning
Conclusion
It is concluded that heat insulation is the effective idea that helps in storing the energy produced
through the heat (majorly sun light). There is effective increase in the consumption of the energy
resources so that there is effective need of getting adequate solution for alternative sources of
energy.
