I don't think it's really there yet as there is already PIR insulation in the market, which is still relatively new, but very promising, as it doesn't degrade, all the bubbles are closed in this foam, so no moisture inside of it. It does not burn and provides excellent insulation properties compared to common materials like polystyrene, or rockwool Mainly it's not the problem with insulation itself, but the combination of factors, like the way it's applied, or which doors and windows are being used, and if there is a heat recuperator in the ventilation system installed. Besides, why use a more expensive material in the first place, if you can use just a bigger quantity of a cheaper material. Its also worth mentioning that it's an equation where you balance the financial cost to implement this Vs the energy savings, we achieve way more cost benefit if improving the cheaper issues first like roof insulation or installing double glazed windows as a mandatory procedure in all newly constructed buildings. Besides such expensive materials need even better performing workforce on the ground, where it's already lacking in many countries in the quality of work concluded. Why use more expensive materials in the first place if a typical builder can mess up the insulation process while already using cheaper materials, if there are mistakes made in the way the building is constructed, it eliminates all the extra quality material costs involved.

Aerogel is such a fascinating material. Extreme cold-weather gear made with areogel insulation is incredibly thin compared to the very bulky gear with other types of insulation. It is so effective that it can actually cause overheating very easily if it is used in temperatures above zero.

I had not considered clothing as a possible use for this stuff. Is the dustiness somehow contained within whatever sleeve/pouch the aerogel might be woven into, or do they use a different binding media than the fiberglass for walls?

I live in an older home who construction predated modern insulation techniques. As a consequence, there is not a lot of room between the exterior walls and the matrix on which the lath and plaster are anchored. As we have needed to excavate walls to replace original plumbing, electric, etc, we have encountered spaces unsuitable for most insulation products. This could be a good solution. Thank you for discussing!

I am considering building my new home with only with mini splits units. With the overall cost of a single unit compared to a centeral air it would be overall cheaper and better. Since I am doing a single level I am opting to install a filter system. I have not decided if I want in stall one large mini split and then add more per additional rooms. I am looking at a direct solar connection to the mini splits that can run solar only mode, grid only or a combo of the 2. Right now they only come in 1 ton and 2 ton single head units. The company that makes them also sells water heaters that are the same way as wel. Either way I plan on installing a filter system that is like an hvac system yet runs on direct DC and then another one that runs on AC. These will be small hvac system that start in a filtered ceiling return box then spit out to several small 4 inch lines to vents in each room and then around the other areas. This will help filter the air during the day time via just solar. I am working on a prototype project right now. I will have several of these in my home. Which will be covered by over 2 feet of blown insulation. Right now our current hvac system is in the crawl space with is cool and there is little insulation around each pipe.

It's interesting it's benefit to older construction. Our house is 150 years old and one issue with doing a lot of DIY is that much of the modern building materials and methods are designed to make the building airtight. This is okay to a certain degree, but with older houses some air and vapour flow is necessary to allow things to dry and not rot.

The R-value per inch isn't very relative when it is only 10mm thick. To get better R-value you would have to use several layers of the stuff and it is already outrageously priced for 1 layer. They're going to have to do alot better to make this viable.
