Planning your insulation strategy? Here's a vital do and don't to guide you: ✅ DO - Choose the Right Type of Insulation: Picking the suitable insulation type is crucial for maximizing energy efficiency and comfort. Consider factors like R-value, material compatibility, and installation method to ensure optimal performance. ❌ DON'T - Skip Air Sealing: Neglecting air sealing compromises insulation effectiveness. Properly sealing gaps, cracks, and openings in the building envelope prevents air leakage, boosts energy efficiency, and maintains indoor comfort levels. Prioritize informed decisions and ensure both insulation selection and air sealing for optimal project outcomes! 💡 #InsulationTips #AirSealing #EnergyEfficiency #ConstructionAdvice

🔥 Placing reflectors behind your radiators can improve heating efficiency. These reflective panels redirect heat back into the room instead of allowing it to be absorbed by the wall. 🏠 This simple and cost-effective solution helps keep your space warmer and reduces energy waste, especially in older homes with less insulation. #EnergyEfficiency #HomeHeatingTips #SaveEnergy #WinterWarmth

Did you know… Air leakage from your ice rink’s building envelop could be responsible for at least a third of the total heat loss. This air leakage can affect moisture accumulation in the walls and ceiling, temperature control inside the building, and cause excess energy consumption. Having an efficient air barrier system is the most important part of the building envelope. Preventing heat loss due to air leakage will result in large savings of your energy costs. Before you break ground on your new facility or start your retrofit project, call our offices to ensure that the best practices for minimizing heat loss are being used. 888-543-0921 #everythingice #heatloss #icerink #curling #engerysavings

When adding climate-controlled self-storage units, several key factors can influence your investment's success. While these units often seem like the best option for higher profits per square foot, don’t overlook the potential premium of drive-up units. Heating and cooling choices, like conventional air handlers versus heat pump mini splits, and proper drainage, are also critical. Insulation quality is another important consideration, as better insulation lowers utility costs and boosts net operating income. Finally, thoughtful layout design is essential—aim for easy access to units or consider price breaks for those farther away. #ClimateControlledUnits #SelfStorage #RealEstate #EquanimityCapitalPartners

Are you sure you check ALL those Energy boxes? Here's something I see missed consistently by government and private think tank experts alike. Radiative cooling. Albedo effect. It's effective after a certain level with the right amount of CDD. If you increase the effectiveness of the coating, it becomes a viable solution in more situations. Which is good for you because we are talking about a fancy white coating. Not replacing insulation or building new walls. With a highly effective coating at a manageable price point there should be room for wide spread adoption as a thermal mitigation strategy. If such coating characteristics were achieved, it can be seen as a building envelope restoration system. Not just a reflective paint. Doing more with less or the same is just smart. More results, the same effort. Better coatings, better buildings. #energyefficiency #thermalmanagement #heatingandcooling #coolcoatings #Radiativecooling #Albedo #sustainability

As air temperatures begin to drop, you might be wondering how to correctly size your heating system. It's not just about the size of your project, there are several critical factors significantly influence the decision. 1)Building Construction: Ever thought about how the materials of your building impact your heating needs? From the insulation to the type of windows, the details matter. 2)Air Infiltration: It's not just about the air you're letting in intentionally. Unplanned air leaks can make a big difference in how much heat you need to keep things cozy. 3)Ventilation Requirements: Good air quality is essential, but it comes with its own set of heating challenges. Balancing fresh air with warmth is key. Understanding these elements can make or break the efficiency of your heating system.
