A Study on Insulation's Positive Impact on Energy Efficiency and Emission Reductions

A Study on Insulation’s Positive Impact on Energy Efficiency and Emission Reductions (Energy & Emissions Study) revealed groundbreaking data that showcases mechanical insulation as a technology that should be implemented first when beginning energy saving and emissions reductions plans. The study objective was to answer two questions:

  1. How much energy is saved, and GHG emissions reduced, over time by the use of mechanical insulation systems in the higher operating service temperatures in the commercial/building and industrial market segments?
  2. Conversely, how much is at risk or lost due to under-insulated areas in the higher temperature market segments?

During this webinar you will learn how this study proves the massive role that insulation can play in our country and global goals to save energy and reduce emissions.

Update from GSA on Embodied Carbon
View a Recording (Passcode: $4UBZ87a)
View the Slides

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is developing whole-building and product-specific standards to help lighten the environmental footprint of the construction and modernization materials used at its projects across the nation. The agency seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the design, construction, and operation of its public building portfolio.

GSA wants to learn more about opportunities to reduce the embodied carbon of building products such as insulation. To that end, GSA released its Federal Buy Clean Request for Information on “Construction Materials with Substantially Lower Embodied Carbon in early October, with responses from material manufacturers accepted through Thursday, November 3, 2022. How might the federal government’s new buy clean initiatives impact insulation products? Walter Tersch and Don Horn will discuss these actions and issues, as well as GSA’s appropriations under the Inflation Reduction Act.

Managing CUI Risks When Moisture Lingers in Your
Insulation System
View the recording by clicking here.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is not an unsolved mystery—we know why and how it develops. The question is what can be done to eliminate it or minimize the spread.

During this webinar, we will discuss:

  • The benefits of substrate preparation;
  • Sources of moisture and how it migrates in and out of insulation systems;
  • The potential of CUI development in modular construction and for systems that are periodically taken out of service;
  • How to keep out moisture and stop migration within the insulation system;
  • How the type of insulation makes a difference; and
  • The value of proper maintenance and certified inspectors.
