Wood and other cellulose fibre insulating materials are the most commonly used insulating materials made from renewable raw materials!
Compared to conventional insulation materials such as mineral wool and rigid foams, however, their thermal conductivity is generally higher and therefore their thermal insulation is lower. Potential lies in the anisotropic structure of cellulose fibre systems. In order to exploit this potential, machine learning methods and geometric structure modelling based on image data and numerical methods for the efficient simulation of heat transport, including thermal radiation, are to be combined with optimisation methods. To this end, a two-scale structural model for wood fibre material is being developed, which makes it possible to apply modern optimisation methods and thus ultimately optimise the structure of highly porous wood fibre insulation materials.
