Modular Insulation System Presented by: Matt Lampron Business Development Mgr Date : October,

Today’s Presentation  Ever Green: The Evolution of Established Insulation Technology  Energy Savings in Institutional Facilities  AMI’s new “Green-Up Project” Approach (slide #15)  Carbon Reduction Case Studies Modular Insulation System 2

Institutional Facilities Bare Components— Here, There, Everywhere !  Unintended heat loss  Unsafe working conditions  Impacts carbon footprint  GHG emissions Modular Insulation System 3

Why Insulate Components?  Saves Energy  Always recommended as per:  DOE DOE  ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, Ch. 23  Components have large surface areas – more than they appear! Lots of energy loss occurs! Modular Insulation System 4

Why Are Mechanical Room Components Left Bare? Costly & Problematic Custom-made covers are expensive & labor intensive Hard to replace Overlooked in construction budgets Designed for industrial use Over-engineered for institutional HVAC systems Modular Insulation System 5

A New “Green” Solution  Ever Green is a patented modular insulation system in “kit” form  Customized on site  Installs in minutes  Saves energy immediately  Quick payback  Prevents unwanted heat in/above space  First layer of Ever Green reduces about 88%of the heat loss.  GHG reductions —up to 8% Modular Insulation System 6

What Makes it Green?  All natural binders on filler insulation – stays flexible!  Silicone coating is solvent-free, solids- based system  Truly re-usable with Velcro straps – no hog rings, wires, etc. Modular Insulation System 7

Advantages  Easy to install— Cut. Wrap. Strap.  Flexible – even after heat-up  Adaptable – ideal for odd shaped and “very hot” components Valve bodies, bonnets & stems Flanges Pressure regulators Strainers  Removed & reinstalled by either contract labor or facility personnel Modular Insulation System 8

9 Designed for District Energy Heating Systems  Temps to 500°F  Water and oil repellent  Meets 25/50 fire/smoke rating per ASTM E-84  Meets ASTM C for indoor applications  R-value – 3.1  Engineering specifications available

Example of a Big Saver  Montana State Capitol System  Retrofit mechanical rooms  3500 bare components  Calculated savings – “8% of their total natural gas used to heat their buildings annually.” 1 1 National Insulation Association - Field Study –State of Montana Modular Insulation System 10

Institutional Mechanical Room – 1 Room’s Bottom Line! How many mechanical rooms— and how many hot, bare fittings are in your facility? Modular Insulation System 11

Insulating Mechanical Rooms  Significant energy savings and…  GHG reductions that can be calculated and counted – up to 8% Modular Insulation System 12
