This study has assesses the effects of installing thin internal wall insulation (IWI) in existing housing. The analysis suggests that using thin insulation products can achieve up to 57% of the energy saving of conventional (thicker) wall insulation and potentially overcome many of the challenges that make conventional IWI difficult to deploy widely.
