Specification tools, system design standards, and easy-to-use software and calculators for determining how much insulation is needed for various commercial, institutional and industrial applications are available here from a number of sources. Some of the tools on this page also provide calculations on greenhouse gas emission-reductions and other performance and code information.
The collection includes insulation-levels recommendations from the Department of Energy, a list of Industrial Assessment Centers, calculators such as the one for Mechanical Insulation: Simple Payback, Rate of Return, and Emissions . It also lists the Midwest Insulation Contractors Association (MICA) standardized guides for designing , specifying and installing thermal insulation products and the resources of the National Insulation Association, a not-for-profit trade association representing contractors, distributors, laminators, fabricators and manufacturers who provide thermal insulation, insulation accessories and components to the commercial, mechanical and industrial markets throughout the nation.
