Insulation can reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, increase available carbon credits, be an important part of sustainable design initiatives, be part of safety programs, increase manufacturing productivity, reduce corrosion under insulation, control condensation and mold growth, and provide an unrivaled return on your investment\u2014so why is it a forgotten technology? This module provides a general overview of the power of mechanical insulation in the new construction, renovation, and maintenance arenas when designed, installed, and maintained properly.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10814 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/What-is-Energy-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/What-is-Energy-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/What-is-Energy-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/What-is-Energy-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/What-is-Energy-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/What-is-Energy.jpg 1581w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Module 3: Mechanical Insulation Science &amp; Technology<\/strong><br \/>\nInsulation is applied but rarely engineered. With the best intentions, but not necessarily with thorough knowledge, many specifications have evolved over the years primarily based upon the modification of old documents. This practice, combined with the lack of mechanical insulation educational and awareness programs about the value of having a properly engineered, installed, and maintained mechanical insulation system, has led to the underutilization of mechanical insulation in energy conservation, emission reduction, process and productivity improvement, life-cycle cost reduction, personnel safety, life safety, workplace improvements, and a host of other applications. This module discusses the principles of understanding energy, what insulation is, how insulation works, psychrometrics, and mechanical insulation definitions and terminology.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10816 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MI-lowers-energy-use-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MI-lowers-energy-use-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MI-lowers-energy-use-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MI-lowers-energy-use.jpg 913w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Module 4: Mechanical Insulation Design Objectives and Considerations<\/strong><br \/>\nMost engineers, architects, specifiers, and end users are familiar with the use of insulation to reduce heating and cooling loads and control noise in building envelopes. Insulations used for pipes, ducts, tanks, and equipment are not as familiar. As a result, mechanical insulation is often overlooked, undervalued, or improperly specified and maintained in commercial and industrial construction projects. Mechanical insulation may be used to satisfy one or more of the following design objectives: condensation control; energy, economics, and the environment; fire safety; freeze protection; personnel protection; process control; and noise control. In addition, a number of design considerations may require attention when designing a mechanical insulation system: abuse resistance, corrosion under insulation, indoor air quality, maintainability, regulatory considerations, service and location, and service life. On some projects, multiple design objectives and considerations must be satisfied simultaneously. This module discusses each of these objectives and considerations.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10818 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Strategic-Maintenance-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Strategic-Maintenance-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Strategic-Maintenance-1024x579.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Strategic-Maintenance-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Strategic-Maintenance.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Module 5: Mechanical Insulation Maintenance<\/strong><br \/>\nInsulation systems, like all mechanical systems, require periodic inspection and maintenance. While inspection and maintenance are the responsibility of the facility owner, most insulation systems are frequently ignored. With time, insulation systems can become damaged for a variety of reasons and, if not repaired or replaced, can become ineffective. Understanding the benefit of timely and proper maintenance can provide a significant return on investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-219-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-219-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-219-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>Educational Credit<\/h2>\n<p>Those who complete the Insulation Basics course are now eligible for Professional Development Hours (PDHs) credit from NIA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organization: NIA<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Professional Development Hours:<\/strong> 2 PDHs<br \/>\n<strong>Type of Credit:<\/strong>\u00a0 2.0 PDHs<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13316 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/NIA-Education-Center-300x48.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"48\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/NIA-Education-Center-300x48.png 300w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/NIA-Education-Center-1024x163.png 1024w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/NIA-Education-Center-150x24.png 150w, https:\/\/insulation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/NIA-Education-Center.png 1372w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NIA has re-released a series of educational online modules to educate and promote the benefits of mechanical insulation by providing practical data and case studies outlining potential energy savings provided by mechanical insulation installation.
