| Resumo: | The environmental characteristics of structural membranes suffer from their low mass and lack of acoustic and thermal insulation. Nevertheless, remarkable progress is taking place introducing translucent insulating materials such as aerogels, printing capabilities which increase solar absorption and reduce solar transmission, low emissivity coatings, and multi-layer, sandwiched and composite membranes, including inflated cushions, analogous to double glazing, to improve thermal, acoustic and energy performances. |
