Energy Conservation

Overview Consistent Air Temperature Noise Control Condensation Control Energy Conservation When IEQ Problems Arise Air Handling Issues

Thermal insulation is without a doubt the most effective technology available today for conserving energy and preserving the environment. If industry can consume less energy there will be less pollution emissions as a result of burning fossil fuels. Properly designed and installed insulation systems immediately reduce the need for energy — a costly ingredient of every product made. Lowering the energy input of each pound of product will conserve energy and result in enormous cost savings.

Buildings that are thermally efficient reduce the amount of energy required to maintain a comfortable living/working environment. In today’s buildings, the insulating role of fiber glass air handling products has become even more important because of the increased emphasis on ventilation as a critical element in IEQ. Increased ventilation requirements which call for specific ventilation levels in occupied spaces place more demands on the building’s energy usage. Thus, the importance of energy efficiency and conservation is increasing from both the energy conservation standpoint and the impact of increased ventilation on the cost of operating a building.
