Value of Insulation
Insulation saves money, improves lives and protects the environment!
According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE), properly installed mechanical insulation provides long-term energy efficiency, emissions reduction, cost savings and safety benefits.
ASHRAE has stated that insulation can:
The National Insulation Association, a 350-member trade association representing the mechanical and specialty insulation industry since 1953, estimates that maintenance of insulation at industrial facilities alone can generate more than $3.6 billion in energy savings per year and reduce the release of 83 billion pounds of carbon dioxide per year into the atmosphere.
With new construction, a properly designed and installed insulation system provides an excellent return on investment and quick payback through cost savings. With insulation’s energy-saving qualities, a properly designed and installed insulation system immediately reduces the need for energy and result in significant savings.
The following case studies offer a sample of instances where true energy and cost savings were achieved by companies that participated in the U.S Department of Energy’s “Save Energy Now” program – utilizing professionals to properly install insulation to improve energy efficiency and mechanical system effectiveness.
These case studies provide true testimony to the importance of properly installed mechanical insulation and discuss actual ROI.

ASHRAE has stated that insulation can:
- Reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere by tons
- Prevent loss of energy
- Control condensation
- Protect occupant safety and public health wellness
- Regulate surface temperature
