COURSE DESCRIPTION
A study on insulation’s positive impact on energy efficiency and emission reductions (Emissions Study) revealed groundbreaking data that showcases mechanical insulation as a technology that should be implemented first when beginning energy-saving and emissions-reduction plans.The study objective was to answer two questions:
1. How much energy is saved, and GHG emissions reduced over time by using 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.
