The story of how mechanical insulation can improve your business and benefit the economy and the environment.

Co sponsored by:

You may think you have heard this story before, but now you can get the “rest of the story.” Did you know that insulation is applied but rarely engineered? Did you know that it is estimated that between 10% & 30% of all installed mechanical insulation is damaged or missing? This presentation provides evidence as to the “Power of Insulation” in the new construction, expansion and maintenance arenas when designed, installed and maintained properly, including an overview of some innovative initiatives and products - systems in the mechanical insulation industry – like nanotechnology and evolving web-based resources structured as a vertical portal to many aspects of the mechanical insulation industry.

Are you familiar with the results of the Department of Energy’s Save Energy Now Program and how they have viewed insulation in their assessments? Have you heard about the National Institute of Building Sciences Mechanical Insulation Design Guide? And yes, insulation can reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; increase your available carbon credits, be an important part of sustainable design initiatives, be part of your safety program, increase manufacturing productivity; eliminate or at minimum reduce corrosion under insulation, control condensation and mold growth and provide an unrivaled return on your investment? Usually what sounds too good to be true, isn’t. That is not true in this case. You need to get the “rest of the story.”

There has never been a more important time to think about insulation differently.

The Presentation will provide interactive discussion on a variety of subjects such as:

• Energy Conservation

• Process Control

• Condensation Control and Mold Prevention

• Moisture Intrusion and Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)

• Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

• Safe Work Environment

• Work Place Environment – Improvements

• Sustainable Design Technology

• Life Safety

• Innovative Products & Systems

Attendees will receive:

• Return on Investment Opportunities

• A comprehensive Energy Management
  

Software Program

• A list of available resources

• A subscription to the insulation industry premier publication, “Outlook”

• Professional Development Hours (PDH’s) may be available with the presentation from the hosting organization

Ron King

His 40 year tenure in the industry has provided him insight and practical knowledge in the fragmented insulation and construction industry. He recently retired as the Chairman, President and CEO of one of the nation’s largest diverse insulation and specialty distributors. He is a past President of the National Insulation Association (NIA), the Southwest Insulation Contractors Association and the World Insulation and Acoustic Organization. He has been honored with “President’s Award” or three different occasions from two associations. He currently is a consultant to NIA.

National Insulation Association (NIA)
  NIA is a fifty year old trade organization whose members specialize in contracting, distribution – fabrication and manufacturing of mechanical insulation for industrial, mechanical and building applications, refractory applications, environmental remediation and other related services
