Energy use of domestic refrigerator/freezers is directly influenced by the overall thermal performance of the cabinet and doors. An advanced  thermal insulation technology can greatly improve the efficiency of appliances such as refrigerators. Insulation materials are critical in buildings designed for low energy use and good thermal comfort. Increasing the overall level of thermal resistance, or R-value, of the insulation is an effective strategy to lower heating costs when thermal loads are dominated by the building envelope. Thermal insulation will be increasingly important in the future development of cars because significant improvements in gas milegage can be achieved by downsizing the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment. Waste reduction and higher thermal performance compared to close-cell foam is possible using Gas-Filled Panels. The panels feature low mass and low volume
