No it does not. High performance adequate thickness PIR does not let heat through eventually.

Hilarious.. oh wait you’re serious.

You and others are just redefining your argument such that, while it might be "correct" in a lab. , it holds no relevance in the real world.

Good grief. I guess at least this isn’t your area of expertise. Unlike Nosenout who should really know this stuff.

You've never heard of night time, then?
Or of opening a window?

The sun tracking across the sky?

He really is, and really believes it!

and it seems, he is not entirely alone in his misbeliefs.

Correct.

MBK tried to be clever and pulled a link without reading it. Then when it was shot down, pulled another - guess what.

Yup...

4.2 ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND OVERHEATING Lomas 490 Buildings and Cities It is frequently suggested that increasing the insulation levels of homes exacerbates overheating. However, some reporters mistake correlation for causation. Field studies have shown that there was no significant difference in the incidence of overheating with the presence, or otherwise, of cavity wall or loft or other insulation measures. Whilst dwellings with a good energy efficiency rating overheated significantly more than less efficient homes, this could be because they were also significantly more likely to be flats (Lomas et al. 2021). Modelling has shown that loft and external wall insulation can actually reduce both overheating and heating energy demand (Porritt et al. 2012). Both field studies (Tink et al. 2018) and modelling (Porritt et al. 2012) indicate that internal wall insulation may increase overheating risk, but simple passive measures can easily control this. In summary, it seems that energy efficiency measures to reduce energy demands and mitigate climate change are not in conflict with climate change adaptation

He's not the brightest.

What do you think a U-value is ? Is if the rate at which heat energy is transferred through a material? Please do advise where I can buy a PIR with a U-value of zero.

It's not eventual dummy.

You’re a builder ffs you should know this. Jeez.

You clearly have some learning to do

Go read your own links dummy.

The only way to maintain an insulated space, at a desired temperature, is via active measures.

Did anyone suggest otherwise? Presumably you mean when the sun is up and in a certain position relative to the windows in the house whilst having little affect on the robustly insulated masonry?

I honestly can’t believe someone can be a successful builder without a basic understanding of what U-values are and why heat loss/gain is based on the temperature difference.

I'm not even sure they are serious.

No the rate of gain/loss is based on the temperature difference. The speed of gain/loss is based on the thermal conductivity.

This is basic stuff.
