5. Assessing the gains and benefits of insulation
Comprehensive and effective insulation of industrial buildings can lead to the following expectations.
Improved thermal and acoustic comfort: insulation reduces the sensation of cold drafts and limits heat transfer between the interior and exterior.
Energy savings: heating and air conditioning bills are lower in both winter and summer.
Reduced maintenance: Buildings that are well insulated and well ventilated are less affected by problems with humidity, condensation, and mold.
An environmentally friendly approach: insulating a building effectively is a step towards reducing global warming. By reducing heating and energy-intensive sources that produce greenhouse gases, the company can contribute on its own scale to slowing down these emissions...
