<\/a><\/span><\/strong>Released in November 2023<\/a><\/span>: The National Insulation Association (NIA) and the Foundation for Mechanical Insulation Education, Training, and Industry Advancement commissioned\u2014for the first time in the history of the mechanical insulation industry\u2014a study to determine the impact mechanical insulation systems can have on reducing the demand for energy and greenhouse gas emissions. This analysis of high-service temperature ranges (150\u00b0F\u2013800\u00b0F) examines and interprets an 11-year window of information. This webinar includes a comprehensive overview of the study results and an explanation of how these facts can help you and your customers understand the importance of mechanical insulation, and its practical application, in rapidly achieving decarbonization goals for companies, states, and our country.<\/p>\n For questions about this study or requests for interviews and articles, email research@insulation.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div> <\/a><\/p>\n For more articles, visit the Insulation Outlook<\/em> archives<\/a> and search keywords such as carbon, ESG, and efficiency.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BIC Magazine<\/em> Congratulates Dave Cox for Receiving the Ronald King Distinguished Service Award (May 2024) <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Visit NIA's Webinar page<\/a> to view all upcoming and archived webinars.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe are excited to be an ally and amplify the message about the power of insulation as a thermal technology solution to reduce GHG emissions and increase energy efficiency. NIA has been sharing this message of reducing energy consumption and saving money for decades. As governments, companies, and individuals work to reduce their carbon footprints and reduce GHG emissions, we are eager to share the message that insulation plays an important role in helping achieve their immediate, short-term, and long-term goals. We look forward to working with the DOE and our peers to help create a better planet.\u201d NIA Joins Better Climate Challenge as an Ally and Promotes Partnerships: Learn what it means to be part of the DOE's Better Climate Challenge.<\/a><\/p>\n DOE Better Climate Challenge Partners:<\/a> 3 NIA member companies have taken the pledge.

However, it would take 46 light bulbs to equal the CO2 reductions from insulating 1 foot of bare pipe!<\/strong><\/p>\n One foot of insulated pipe = 46 light bulbs, One house = 40 light bulbs (according to EPA) Turning off the power to one house for a year is LESS<\/span> than the CO2 savings of 1 foot of MI.<\/p>\n Can you see that light bulbs are not the answer.<\/strong> What is the answer?

Jones sat down with The Freeman Report<\/a> Podcast Host and NIA Past President Kenny Freeman for a wide-ranging discussion on the important role that mechanical insulation can and should play in the decarbonization discussion.<\/p>\n Moving mechanical insulation out of the shadows and into the spotlight, this podcast will help listeners understand that mechanical insulation is on a whole other level from what they may be familiar with in their home\u2019s attic and walls and can play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gases and moving us toward decarbonization goals.
