The inspection and evaluation of insulation accompanied with an energy appraisal will indentify opportunities for possible energy and cost savings.
The application of insulation for personnel protection, energy-savings and heat-loss prevention can save tens of thousands of dollars per system per month for the building or system owner.
There are consultants who will model and calculate energy loss and there are manufacturers who will develop specifications, as well as, contractors who will install insulation. Other than Synergy, there are few if any companies performing all of these world-class engineered, insulation services.
Equipment, tanks, pipes, etc... can be insulated with a sprayable insulating coating. The coating replaces traditional insulation and metal jacketing at a fraction of the cost.
The coating can be applied while the equipment is in production and has an upper limit of 450 degrees F. The heat from the process actually cures the coating. Corrosion Under Insulation (C.U.I.) can not occur because the coating is adhered to the substrate.
The sprayable insulting coating provides safety for personnel, energy and cost-savings for the owner, as well as, assisting with Risk Management by decreasing the risk of burns.
Lighting Upgrades
Lighting requirements in Commercial Buildings in the United States consume close to 35 percent of the total electrical demand the the buildings. Lighting also affects other building systems through its electrical requirements and the waste heat that it produces. Building owners who decide to upgrade their lighting systems with efficient light sources, fixtures, and controls can reduce lighting energy use, improve the visual environment, and affect the sizing of HVAC and electrical systems.
When developing goals for a lighting upgrade, ensure they are consistent with the overall company goals and energy policies. The goals should include provisions for commissioning—making sure that the installed systems work as intended—and retrocommissioning, to make sure that the installed systems continue to provide the intended benefit throughout their useful life
Window, Skylight and Solar Tube Installation
Upgrading windows can serve several purposes. New insulated windows and glazed windows can reduce the solar load generated during the day and lower your cooling costs.
Installation of upgraded windows and new skylights or solar tubes will increase day light into the working space and decrease your need lighting need and cost. Often with better lit spaces, employee morale and productivity increases.
