Human: What material is good for insulation?

Assistant: Glass is a good insulator, so it is useful to keep heat in when the building is cold outside, but not when it is hot inside. You might be able to use sand or crushed charcoal as a heat-retaining material. There is also a type of ceramic called a firebrick, which is designed to slow down the flow of heat from one room to another, so I’m not sure if that’s the best material for this task.


Human: What material is good for insulation?

Assistant: I recommend wool blankets and blankets made from down or other materials.  Placing the wool or other material in contact with your body and your body heat will help to insulate you, and the higher the density, the more insulation.
