Dynamic insulation system for energy-efficient indoor temperature regulation

Abstract

An insulation system for a structure includes an insulator comprising a flexible sheet movably coupled to an exterior wall of the structure, an interior temperature sensor configured to measure an interior temperature within the structure, an exterior temperature sensor configured to measure an outside temperature of an environment surrounding the structure, a light sensor disposed outside the structure and configured to detect a sunlight intensity, and processing circuitry in communication with the interior temperature sensor, the exterior temperature sensor, and the light sensor. The insulator is movable between a deployed position in which the insulator covers a portion of the exterior wall and a retracted position in which the insulator does not cover the portion of the exterior wall. The processing circuitry is configured to actuate one or more motors to move the insulator between the deployed position and the retracted position based at least in part on the interior temperature, the outside temperature, and the sunlight intensity.
