Nelson Energy Audit Capabilities
The goal to be more energy efficient is at the forefront of every construction project. Proper mechanical insulation is undeniably one of the most effective ways to achieve this.
Heating and cooling make up 70% of a building’s energy use and one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to lower this energy consumption is mechanical insulation. Mechanical insulation has long been recognized as one of the most cost-effective ways of creating a smaller carbon footprint. As an added incentive, commercial buildings can take advantage of Gas Rebates related to energy consumption.
Nelson Insulation can provide an Energy Audit to determine if your facility’s steam and hot water piping is properly insulated to maximize your energy savings and your rebate!
A Nelson Energy Audit will determine:
• How much existing piping is not insulated
• Provide an estimate to insulate all uninsulated piping
• Project the annual savings associated with the completed project in therms and CO2
• Calculate your potential gas rebate – Can be up to 50% of the cost of the project
• Calculate the return on investment – Usually 1-3 years
Benefits of proper insulation on the environment and for you:
• Cut energy costs by up to 95%
• Reduce your carbon footprint
• Reduce your CO2 emissions by hundreds of metric tons
• Insulating 1 foot of 350◦ pipes is equivalent to planting 46 trees – 1000 feet = 46,000 trees
