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
