Increasing energy costs and dwindling availability
emphasize the need for immediate energy saving solutions
in every country.
The most effective way of saving energy is to improve
the thermal insulation of buildings. This is definitely
important in warmer climates where the demand for air
conditioning is very high.
In addition to
saving energy, thermal insulation lowers the cost of A/C
investment, improves comfort levels and increases building
life. It is one of those ubiquitous techniques that is
always around, working silently and efficiently, enclosed
within a structure, a casing or under cladding. We rarely
see it. We only experience its many benefits.
Insulation comes to the fore when the new design of a
building, plant, equipment or production process is being
considered. It is at this stage that the right
specification must be made, any shortfall in the
thickness, or error in the type and application details
will prove costly to rectify later. There are many good
reasons why professional engineers, architects and indeed
laymen use insulation:
