## Abstract

Rigid wall shelters are used throughout the world for shipping, living quarters, and housing for electronic systems and are energy inefficient. While investigating energy-efficient technologies for rigid wall shelters the discovery was made to insulate the outside of the shelter rather than the inside. Space is often limited inside of the shelter. The invention of an external, re-deployable insulation system was developed. The present invention is an insulating system composed of three main components. The first component is multiple, flexible envelopes filled with insulating materials (which creates a panel). The second component is multiple insulating strips that cover the joint between the panels. The final component is a weatherproof outer covering that protects the entire system from the elements.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An insulation panel, comprising:
a flexible envelope;
an insulating material disposed within the envelope;
a first zipper disposed on an outboard perimeter of the envelope and configured to couple with a zipper disposed on an outboard perimeter of a first insulation panel disposed adjacent the insulation panel;
a second zipper disposed on an inboard perimeter of the envelope and configured to couple with a zipper disposed on an inboard perimeter of a second insulation panel disposed adjacent the insulation panel;
a strap fastener disposed on the outboard surface of the envelope; and
a panel fastener disposed on the outboard surface of the envelope.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The insulation panel of claim 1, wherein the insulating material comprises any one of closed cell polyethylene foam, polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, and any combination thereof.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The insulation panel of claim 1, wherein the strap fastener comprises a D-ring.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The insulation panel of claim 1, wherein the panel fastener comprises a hook-and-loop fastener.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The insulation panel of claim 1, further comprising a static magnet disposed on the inboard surface of the panel.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The insulation panel of claim 5, further comprising a pouch disposed on the inboard surface of the panel and configured to receive the static magnet.
