Articles on vacuum insulation energy-saving solutions from Sanyou London. We publish practical, data-led guides on VIPs, Decorative Integrated VIP (DVIP), Vacuum Insulated Wallpaper (VIW), Vacuum Insulated Curtain (VIC) & Heatable Curtain (VIHC), and Vacuum-Insulated Bag-or-Box (VIBB). Expect clear explanations, performance comparisons (λ and U-values), installation steps, case studies, and analyses for new builds, retrofits (including heritage), cold-chain logistics, vehicles, electronics/data centres/AI factories, and more.
Written by or with Prof. Dr. Saim Memon’s research team, these articles focus on real-world practical discussions for decision-makers, real estate builders, architects, contractors, local suppliers, distributors and education and research universities across the United Kingdom, European Union, Middle East, USA, Canada, and Australia. If you’re a developer, architect, facility manager or homeowner, use these guides to choose thin, high-performance solutions that cut energy loss without adding bulk—and move your projects towards net-zero with confidence.
A clear guide to VIP, DVIP, VIW, VIBB, VIC and VIHC—how each saves energy, where each shines, and how to choose for buildings, transport, EVs, data centres and cold chain.
