Insulation:

Already A

Green Technology

Don't overlook mechanical insulation when designing a green building.

To reduce energy costs

To enhance process performance

To reduce emissions

To protect personnel

To provide freeze protection

To prevent condensation on the insulation system surface

To reduce noise levels

To maximize return on investment (ROI)

Thermal insulation can accomplish much of this. The level of

importance varies from project to project.

The Bottom Line

In the NITP, and in working with mechanical insulation in general,

it is important to remember that thermal insulation has a

synergistic effect on many areas of a facility, including the following:

Energy cost

Production quality

Worker comfort

Worker safety

Process stability

Facility emissions

Facility maintenance
