BUILDING INSULATION Builders, Architects and Contractors are constantly striving for ways to enhance energy-efficiency in buildings. Building insulation not only helps lower monthly energy bills, but also adds to the overall comfort. Insulation helps maintain comfort temperature by reducing thermal , water leakages ,and dead loads Developments of green insulation techniques and practices, the potential to save energy by adopting design can be as high as 40-50 %. Insulation in buildings is assuming tremendous importance and has a potential to reduce energy consumption to an extent of 5-8 %. Why Insulation? Buildings without insulation and air-tight envelope can result in major energy wastage. Benefits of Insulation 5-8% energy savings with a payback of 1-2 years Provides thermal as well as acoustical insulation Resistant to moisture Resistant to air infiltration Applications of Insulation materials Exterior walls Inte
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued “heat wave to severe heat wave” warnings for most parts of India , which are already baking in early-summer heat this year. Maximum temperatures could touch 50 degrees in a severe heat wave condition. To get protected from heat , roof treatments are available at cost effective and high performance
