Article Title: A gap in the market.

Summary: This article describes concrete sandwich panels that are internally insulated. Unlike standard panels which are insulated by fibre or foam the reinforced concrete panels described in this article employ a newer system referred to as vacuum insulated panels (VIP's). While standard insulation traps gases to reduce heat transfer, VIP's work by removing these gases thus producing a vacuum within the slab. The use of VIP's within precast concrete panels reduces the thickness of the panel compared with those insulated with fibre or foam.
