Container House Structural Design

The thermal insulation performance of container houses directly affects indoor temperature comfort. Researchers, through computer simulation analysis, comprehensively considered the heat transfer methods between external climate, wall materials, and the indoor environment, including factors such as airflow, solar radiation, and material thermal conductivity. The study found that the choice and thickness of the wall insulation material play a decisive role in the insulation effect. Experimental data shows that using a 15 cm thick rock wool insulation layer can maintain an indoor temperature of around 19.6℃ in winter, basically meeting the requirements for comfortable heating. From an economic perspective, although aerogel vacuum panels have the best insulation performance, their price is too high, making their overall cost-effectiveness less than ideal. In contrast, polyurethane insulation panels achieve a better balance between cost and insulation effect, making them a more practical choice. These findings provide clear guidance for the insulation design of container houses: both the insulation capacity of the materials and the long-term economic efficiency must be considered to achieve the best insulation effect.
