Material Intelligence

What every surface of your building is made of โ€” and how much heat each one lets in.

๐Ÿ’ก
Plain-Language Idea

Every building material has a heat personality. Red brick lets heat fly through. AAC block slows it down. Insulated panels almost stop it. Material Intelligence uses infrared sensors to read this heat personality for every wall, roof, and window โ€” like a nutrition label for your building's skin.

U-value

Heat Flow Rate

How fast heat moves through a wall. Lower = better.

k-value

Thermal Conductivity

Heat flow per 1 metre of thickness. AAC: kโ‰ˆ0.20, Red brick: kโ‰ˆ1.0.

Emissivity

Radiation Rate (ฮต)

How much heat a surface radiates (0โ€“1). Black tar roof ฮตโ‰ˆ0.92.

SHGC

Solar Glass Flow

How much solar energy passes through glass. Low-E glass: 0.22.
