Testing

Radiant Barrier Testing by
University of Western Australia
Thermal Control Membrane in
Attic
Radiant barriers are measured by reflectivity and
emissivity.
In Australia, radiant barriers are part of the building codes and
must
be installed in every new home and building.
One of the criteria for approval of a radiant barrier is the
emissivity value (for an explanation of emissivity click here
).
The University of Australia has a facility for testing
emissivity for code compliance and below are the results from testing of our
Thermal Control Membrane product. The measured emissivity of the second
surface at .02 is the lowest ever recorded by this facility. Before
purchasing a radiant barrier, make sure you have proof of the
"measured emissivity".
