Insulation Investment = Energy Savings and Exceptional Financial Returns

Abstract

Mechanical insulation from an energy savings investment per-
spective in commercial building and industrial applications, although
important to facility operations and manufacturing processes, is often
overlooked and undervalued. Whose fault is that, and why is that? For
a variety of reasons, the knowledge base of mechanical insulation has
eroded over the last 10 years. Combine that with insulation being taken
for granted as to providing a simple one-time payback and you have
identified the problem. This article will explore this problem and pro-
vide evidence; processes and resources for de-mystifying this proven,
but often forgotten energy savings and emission reduction technology,
simply known as insulation. With today’s high cost of energy, our
dependency on foreign energy sources; and our renewed focus on the
environment, there has never been a more important time to think about
insulation differently. You will leave asking yourself why you have not
taken advantage of this technology before.
