Energy Efficiency, condensation control and personal protection starts with inspecting mechanical insulation

Pipe Insulation? Duct insulation? Equipment insulation? Things that don’t light up, beep, come with touch-screens and remain mostly out of sight? And, no moving parts to wear out? What can be exciting about that? LEED and mechanical insulation; what’s the connection there?

We’ll find out how correctly specified and installed mechanical insulation impacts on energy conservation, greenhouse gas emissions and health and safety issues. We’ll talk about a no-cost/low-cost approach to determining when insulation on mechanical systems requires immediate attention. We’ll see how easy it is to “fix” seemingly complicated insulation deficiencies. We’ll talk about personnel protection, condensation control and address mould growth. We’ll review how a free, downloadable software tool called, “3E Plus” can tie all of these elements together.
