Why to Insulate

Why To Insulate

What happens if temp is hot?

Less Productivity

Low Efficiency

Running to find comfort

We feel COMFORTABLE

when temperature of air around us is

22 +2oC

Why To Insulate

To bring temperature of air

around us as22 +2oC

Either cooling or heating is required

Why To Insulate

Energy

Cooling or

Heating

Higher temperature difference (ΔT)

between external atmosphere and

around us leads to higher cooling or

heating

Why To Insulate

Power plants producing electric energy for heating/cooling/airconditioning need a lot of fuel and produce unnecessary air pollution and emits CO2

Why To Insulate

Carbon Dioxide Emissions are responsible for about80% of the problems related to Greenhouse GasEmissions and CO2 is one of the six chemicals

methane and Biomethane

nitrous oxide

hydrofluorocarbons

perfluorocarbons

sulfur hexafluoride

Why To Insulate

Carbon Dioxide Emission have caused CO2 concentrations in theatmosphere to reach 387 ppm - over 100 ppm higher than pre-industrial revolution levels that were at 280 ppm

CO2 is the main cause for Greenhouse effect and hence Global Warming

Why To Insulate

The total global temperatureincrease from the 1850s throught to 2005 is 0.76°C

Global average temp. is forecast to rise 4°C (7.2°F)toward the end of the 21st century, and this is a mere 90 years away!

Doubling of CO2 levels to 550 ppm will in the end produce a 6°C increase.

Global warming is concern of

Every responsible individual

Why To Insulate

Save Energy !

What to do?

Why To Insulate

Energy use

Industry 28%

Buildings 40%

Transport 32%

Source: EURIMA, ECOFIS-study "Mitigation of CO2 Emissions from the Building Stock" Beyond the EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings

40% of world energy is used in buildings; In GCC it is 50%

The buildings have an enormous energy-saving –potential

Why To Insulate

Heating/cooling 75,5%

Hot water 11,5%

House hold facilities 11,5%

Light 1,5%

Final energy consumption 2002; Electricity, oil, gas, coal, etcSource: VDEW 2002

Better savings are expected in GCC due to lack of stringent building code

Why To InsulateTypical Energy consumption of a private household

Insulation selection

Insulation Selection based on sustainability criteria

Preference for an insulation material among thegiven options shall be based on

Usage of Raw material

Handling, transportation and storage

Application Requirement

Safe to Human

Throughout Life Performances (Aging effect)

Emissions after in use

Fire Class

Behaviour during fire

Impact on environment (ODP & GWP)

By opting Mineral Wool Insulation (Glass wool & Rock wool)

Insulation Selection based on sustainability criteria

Let’s go with confidence !

Because Mineral Wool (Glass wool & Rock wool) Insulation

Are available as flexible, semi rigid and rigidAre light in weight and compressibleAre suitable in wide range of temperature from – 200 oC to + 800 oC

Does not promote growth of mould, bacteria and fungus

Does not show any aging

Are Fire Safe; Resist the fire and achieve highest class of fire safety(Euro Class A1)

Can meet almost all application requirements in the building

Are made from abundantly available raw materials (minerals) on the earth

And moreover “Buy one and get one free” rule is applicable due to their dual performances ( Acoustic and Thermal Insulation)

Environment Friendly – Zero GWP and Zero ODP
