What is an Insulation Energy Appraisal?
An insulation energy appraisal puts actual dollar savings to Btu losses and calculates greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2, NOx and CE (Carbon Equivalent). An appraisal is based on data supplied by a plant/energy manager and gathered during a facility walk-through. This data is fed to a computer which calculates the energy used and the savings on any operating period or annual basis. This data is invaluable for companies that want to make sound decisions about a technology that offers tremendous payback over the life of their facilities. NIA has developed a comprehensive program to train certified appraisers who will have the required expertise to conduct an insulation energy appraisal and make specific recommendations to plant management.
