What is Mechanical Insulation?

Do you think insulation only belongs in walls?  Time to learn more.  New e-learning modules are now available at www.nterlearning.org, as part of the Department of Energy’s Mechanical Insulation Education and Awareness Campaign (MIC).  MIC is a program offered by the Department of Energy in conjunction with the National Insulation Association and the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers.

Mechanical insulation can play a significant role in reducing facility energy loss and saving money in the process. Insulation also provides: excellent return on investment, workplace safety, environmental protection, condensation control, and noise control. Five self-paced e-learning modules are available, as well as a mechanical insulation glossary and design guide.  The series is totally free – simply sign up with an email account and password.
