abstract = {Problem statement: Building insulation consisting roughly to anything in a structure that
is utilizes as insulation for any reason. Thermal insulation in structures is a significant feature to
attaining thermal comfort for its tenants. Approach: Insulation decreases unnecessary warmth loss or
gain and can reduce the power burdens of heating and cooling structures. It does not automatically
having anything to do with problems of sufficient exposure to air and might or might not influence the
amount of sound insulation. Results: In a constricted way insulation can just mean the insulation
substance used to reduce heat loss, such as: Glass wool, cellulose, polystyrene, rock wool, urethane
foam, vermiculite and the earth, but it can also entail a variety of plans and methods used to deal with
the chief forms of heat movement like transmission, emission and convection substances. The
efficiency of insulation is normally assessed by its R-value. However, an R-value does not allow for
the superiority of assembly or narrow green issues for each structure. Building superiority matters
comprise insufficient vapor obstructions and troubles with draft-proofing. Additionally, the property
and concentration of the insulation substance itself is vital. Fiberglass insulation materials, for
example, made out of short fibers of glass covered on top of each other is not as long-lasting as
insulation prepared from extended entwined fibers of glass. Conclusion/Recommendations:
Rockwool insulation is a kind of insulation that is constructed out of real rocks and minerals. It
furthermore is known by the names of mineral wool insulation, stone wool insulation or slag wool
insulation. A broad collection of goods can be constructed from Rockwool, because of its outstanding
capability to obstruct sound and heat. Rockwool insulation is normally utilized in building assembly,
manufacturing plants and in automotive purposes. In this study i proposed to use Rockwool as a good
insulation material to use for insulate the outside walls, this proposal proved by advance calculation
and applied to exterminate case in Jordan because this material is available in Jordan.},
