A system includes a wall panel (102) with an exterior wall (104). An interior wall (106) is separated from the interior wall by a variable insulation gap (108) occupied by an insulation medium. A flow driver (110) is connected in fluid communication with the insulation medium. The flow driver is configured to selectively switch properties of the insulation medium in the variable insulation gap between a conduction mode and in an insulation mode. The insulation medium has a first effective thermal conductivity in the insulation mode, and a second effective thermal conductivity in the conduction mode. The first effective thermal conductively is lower than the second effective thermal conductivity.
