thermal barrier

But as the climate heats up, this “thermal barrier” could erode as fungi in the environment adapt to higher temperatures.

The biggest focus of current green-building efforts is on the “building envelope,” which is the thermal barrier between the inside of your home and the outdoor environment.

“So our temperature is almost like a thermal barrier that protects us against many organisms.”

Buried inside the extra-thick walls of these homes are layers of high-density fiberglass insulation flanked by rigid foam boards taped together at the seams to forge a thermal barrier.

The hot weather creates a thermal barrier on the Okanogan which means the chinook and sockeye will be stacked up in the cooler water of Brewster Pool.
