Call insulation a diamond in the rough, low-hanging fruit, or a simple solution to a burgeoning energy crisis. Whatever you call it, insulation spells sustainability Finding a reason for a plastics industry professional to insulate isn’t hard to do. Driving the...
K-Factor measures the performance of industrial insulation, specifically its ability to conduct heat. In other words, K-Factor measures thermal conductivity. So, insulation buyers want an insulation material with a low K-Factor. Insulation makers calculate K-Factor as...
There are many practices for achieving energy conservation, but among the simplest is blanketing industrial components with thermal insulation. While Shannon preaches “Just Insulate It,” blanketing a component for energy savings takes high-quality insulation designed...
NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. – March 30, 2022 – Shannon Global Energy Solutions—which engineers and manufactures reusable acoustic and thermal insulation for a sustainable planet—will showcase its thermal and reusable insulation blankets for the plastics industry at Plastec...
If you’re trying to conserve energy through insulation, then choosing insulation material with a high R-Value is a critical component for your strategy. But what is R-Value? According to Meriam-Webster’s online dictionary, R-Value is “a measure of resistance to the...
President Biden is ordering federal agencies to kick into high gear on sustainability; and, to meet the president’s directive, federal managers should double down on energy conservation through insulation by including removable and reusable thermal insulation blankets...
Should thermal insulation be part of a strategy for reducing your facility’s carbon footprint? Some banks in Europe are starting to screen borrowers more carefully about their carbon footprint. Will North American banks soon take a closer look at facility owners’...
Many companies (and managers) eagerly look for the next gadget (e.g., new electricity storage devices) or technology (e.g., low-cost solar mini-grid system) to enhance sustainability. But in doing so, they can overlook some under-the-radar approaches to achieving...
Identifying and successfully getting energy rebates for manufacturing plant owners is one of Shannon’s specialties, and the result can be billions of BTUs saved per year. Saving money is good for manufacturers, and saving energy is good for the environment. But plant...
