Office-Residential Facilities Energy Audits
Energy audits provide the data
Mechanical insulation should not be overlooked in commercial and residential settings for several reasons, including cost savings by helping mechanical systems work more efficiently.
Mechanical insulation will not only help reduce the amount of energy consumed by mechanical systems, but it will also help them work more efficiently, thus extending their lifespan.
Furthermore, cutting back on the amount of energy consumed reduces the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere, which helps the environment.
While regular insulation (the pink stuff) should be used inside the walls of commercial and residential structures, Mechanical Insulation should be properly fitted around pipes, ductwork and mechanical equipment to stop energy loss, prevent condensation buildup and help save the environment.
When condensation occurs on pipes and other equipment, it can lead to mold and bacteria growth, which will then create an unsafe work or living environment. Not only will Mechanical Insulation make a building safer for occupants, but it prevents condensation on pipes, which also stops rust from forming on metal pipes, ducts and equipment. This helps those pieces last longer.
Property maintenance managers, building owners and other decision-makers
Can help save money on energy costs by having Mechanical Insulation installed and properly maintained.
The Mechanical Insulators Labor Management Cooperative Trust (LMCT) invites you to download and read these audits and reports, which were performed on commercial and residential structures. Discover the type of energy and cost savings that are awaiting you.
