The true value of insulation is a sum of energy savings, personnel and equipment safety, process control, condensation prevention, freeze protection, fire safety, noise reduction and greenhouse gas reduction.

There are many factors to consider when looking to achieve ultra-efficiency in an HVAC system. Newer homes, for example, are built to a substantially higher standard than homes with previously existing code demands, evidenced by insulation levels that are at least 25% higher and blower-door scores of half or better than code.
While efficiency is sometimes thought of in terms of massive projects and initiatives, micro- improvements, like the choice of insulating material used on pipes, can have a significant impact on the bottom line.
A special concern from a life safety perspective is that plenums are home to combustible materials as well as various pipes, cables, and wires that may yield toxic fumes and smoke.
The location of the chilled water system — both in terms of geography and physical placement — influences the design specifics needed to properly insulate or protect it.
Designers overcame numerous challenges to complete the $104.5 million Pioneer Hall expansion and renovation project in time for the start of the fall 2019 semester.
Pioneer Hall, one of four residence halls located within the University of Minnesota’s Superblock residential district, is prominently situated on the east bank of the Mississippi River on the university’s Twin Cities campus in Minneapolis.
Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, Massachusetts, is saving energy after teaming up with Shannon Enterprises of W.N.Y. Inc. and Shannon Energy. Shannon installed reusable, custom-engineered thermal insulation throughout the hospital’s mechanical rooms and steam distribution system.
