BIOGRAPHY

Mr. Nguyen Quang Hung is currently Managing Director for Cat Tuong Corp, a leading company in the region in manufacturing and distributing insulation materials. He graduated from the University of Melbourne, Australia with a Bachelor in Science before going on to study for postgraduates at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA – Physics) and Singapore MIT Alliance (SMA – Micro and Nanomaterials). He spent the next 10 years working in varied R&D positions for technology companies in Singapore and Australia. During this time together with colleagues, he has developed high-power plasma technologies that helped produce mass quantities of many nano oxide materials for high-tech applications. He then worked on the development of various rare earth metal applications for a world-leading rare earth mining company in Australia. In 2016 he came back to Vietnam to lead Cat Tuong and transformed the company from a local manufacturer to a solution provider in insulation materials. The company has doubled its revenue and built several new factories during his tenure. With an interest in renewable energy, he has proposed a solar rooftop system for Cat Tuong’s factory and got sponsored by GIZ (a German government organization for collaboration in renewable energy). The project was a showcase and further put into guidelines for solar rooftop investment in Vietnam.

TOPIC

Improving indoor temperature with new insulation solutions

 

ABSTRACT

  1. Introduction to Insulation and Its Importance in Vietnam’s context
  • Briefly explain what insulation is and why it’s important.
  • Highlight the benefits of insulation, such as energy efficiency, cost savings, and enhanced indoor comfort.
  1. How Insulation Works & QCVN 09:2017 compliance
  • Explain the science of insulation. How does it reduce heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation)?
  • Discuss the different types of insulation materials (fiberglass, foam, cellulose, etc.) and their thermal properties (R-value).
  • Other factors of insulation materials: health & safety, fire performance, acoustic performance, cyclone performance (given recent climate event), moisture condensation,…
  • Requirements for insulation in QCVN 09:2017 “National Technical Regulation and Energy Efficiency Buildings”.
  1. Impact of Insulation on Indoor Temperature
  • Explore how proper insulation helps maintain stable indoor temperatures across seasons, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.
  • Include examples of how homes in different climates benefit from specific insulation strategies.
  • Provide a case study or statistics on how improved insulation leads to energy savings.
  1. Innovative Insulation Solutions
  • Discuss new or innovative insulation technologies, eco-friendly materials, or smart insulation that adjusts with temperature.
  • Mention products or systems that are particularly effective at maintaining indoor comfort.
  1. Conclusion and Q&A
  • Summarize the key points: importance of insulation, how it works, and the benefits of new insulation solutions.
