IL HR0768

Mechanical insulation encompasses thermal, acoustical, and personnel safety requirements for piping, equipment, and HVAC systems in manufacturing facilities, power plants, refineries, hospitals, universities, and government buildings

Properly installed mechanical insulation provides energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emission reduction, cost savings, and safety benefits by preventing energy loss and controlling condensation

According to the National Insulation Association, maintenance of mechanical insulation at industrial facilities can generate $3.6 billion in annual energy savings, reduce 37 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and create over 27,000 jobs annually

House of Representatives encourages energy efficient and environment-friendly building and facility certification programs to incorporate mechanical insulation into their standards and ratings systems
