Emissions of GHGs are proving as an evidence of overutilization of energy and efforts are continuously being taken to efficiently manage the energy usage. Energy efficient buildings are one of such efforts and insulation of these building performs a vital role in decreasing the thermal interaction across the buildings. To achieve these outputs a thick layer of insulation is required but this comes with few challenges like lesser floor space and high cost. Aerogel based materials and vacuum insulation panels are among the best suitable insulation materials, despite lower thermal conductivity to act as thermal insulation there are difficulties with such materials like issues with their processing and pricing limits their utilization. Extensive studies have been done on application of various types of composites either natural and synthetics are under the microscopes of several researches across the globe, this work reviews few of those works and their sufficiency.
