Prepared for Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Washington, DC 20314-1000 ERDC/CERL TR-15-8 ii Abstract Advanced insulation materials provide resistance to heat flow. Properly insulating shelters can reduce heating and cooling costs, as well as im-proves comfort. However, the long-term performance of insulation mate-rials is relatively unknown. This research investigated the long-term per-formance of five commercially available insulation materials including nonwoven insulation liner, aerogel blankets, closed cell spray polyure-thane foam (ccSPF), extruded polysterene (XPS), and fiberglass batt. Ac-celerated aging simulation experiments were conducted in an environmen-tal chamber. Al
