CHAPTER XVINSULATION Introduction When we speak of insulation in connection with coldstorage buildings, we mean such materials which are effi-cient non-conductors of heat and will in practical applica-tion limit the transmission of heat between cold storagerooms and their surroundings. It is only within recentyears that efficient and durable insulation has come intouniversal use in packing-house and cold storage buildings. Along with the improvements in building construc-tion came the demand for more permanent and fire resist-ing materials. Leading companies, engaged in the manu-facturing of cork insulation, began some years ago to makeinvestigations at their experimental stations regarding therelative efficiency of the various materials and methodsof c
