Environment
Energy technology is vital to a dynamic society but global warming, driven primarily by CO2 emissions, now demands change in current patterns of generation and use. Half of our energy is used in buildings, which form an excellent focus for actions to reduce CO2 emissions, starting with energy efficiency.
How can we make green buildings for the future? - Reduce the amount of natural resources buildings consume.
- Reduce the amount of pollution emitted by those same buildings.
In Europe, the largest share of energy in buildings is heating. Insulation and thermal design can dramatically reduce heat loss and help stop global warming. Heating energy demand in existing buildings can be reduced by 30-50% through retrofit, compared to the current average. In new buildings it can be reduced by 90-95%, using widely available technology at competitive costs.
Green buildings often include measures to reduce energy use. To increase the efficiency of the building envelope, they may use high-efficiency windows and insulation in walls, ceilings, and floors. Designers also orient windows and walls and place awnings, porches, and trees to shade windows and roofs during the summer while maximizing solar gain in the winter. In addition, effective window placement (day lighting) can provide more natural light and lessen the need for electric lighting during the day. Solar water heating further reduces energy loads.
High performance green buildings share three main attributes: high energy efficiency, low environmental impact and proper occupant health and comfort. These are the fundamentals for both new and existing buildings.
The benefits of ISOPIPE include, in addition to reducing costs and environmental impacts of energy consumption:
- Conserves Energy by Reducing Heat Loss or Gain:
- Controls Surface Temperatures for Personnel Protection and Comfort
- Facilitates Process Temperature Control
- Prevents Condensation on Cold Surfaces
- Prevents or Reduces Damage to Equipment From Exposure to Fire or Corrosive Atmospheres
- Controls Noise
The real pay off comes when you consider ISOPIPE's environmental benefits:- Low thermal conductivity for effective energy saving and CO2 reduction
- Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP): NO CFC's, HFC's or HCFC's!
- Zero Global Warming Potential (GWP).
As far as out TORRENT Boilers concerns; The efficiency improvements, have been ongoing in the industry for some time, have helped offset rising energy costs and reduce carbon-dioxide, carbonmonoxide, nitrogen-oxide (NOx), and other emissions.
The further development of low NOx fuelburning equipment and emissions- and system-control technologies is rapidly enhancing performance capabilities. Advanced controls offer computerized combustion control, high operating efficiency, building-information interconnection and data transfer and trending.
A boiler's integration into other systems can allow a more optimized operation, which can result in enhanced reliability and efficiency.
How to conserve more than 80% of energy?
ISOPIPE is a highly durable insulation system. It is shown that it offers improved environmental performance and advanced control of buildings. ISOPIPE insulation systems are cost effective and energy efficient; you save money by conserving more than 80% of energy.
A simple measure that directly impacts three attributes is proper insulation systems.
We use raw materials and energy with responsibility to reduce waste. In addition, we meet industry standards by supplying information on the proper use of all our products to ensure their highest performance.
How to keep people and environment safe?
Invest in the future! ISOPIPE is a healthy conscious choice. It allows you to protect the buildings' occupants from mould and poor air quality. So it's an investment that will deliver tremendous benefits.
Poor air quality in buildings can have harmful effects on human health (the body's respiratory and cardiovascular systems) and the environment. Our systems ensure improved air quality keeping people and the environment healthy.
Join 3i in protecting our planet today by choosing the insulation that protects our future!
