INSULATION MATTERS

The effects of mechanical insulation on energy efficiency, utility spending, the health of workers, and the environment are staggering. Inadequate and poorly installed insulation around heating and cooling systems are the leading causes of wasted energy, lost money, and the growth of mold — a significant growing public health risk. In addition to generating massive amounts of carbon dioxide each year, poorly insulated systems are costing companies in the U.S. billions of dollars in wasted energy.
