What is a heat-loss survey? Simply put, a heat-loss survey is the first step in Thermaxx’s insulation process, providing the customer with wealth of useful information. This no-cost energy analysis is the baseline for all Thermaxx insulation projects. It also provides customers with a comprehensive insulation opportunity report. Projects include, but are not limited to insulation for:
The report is compiled by one of our experienced field technicians during an initial site visit. Using our in house smart phone app, field technicians identify potential opportunities for thermal energy savings and document characteristics unique to each component. This information includes:
A Thermaxx heat-loss report helps our customers in many ways. Most notably, our detailed survey a quick and easy way to say your potential for energy SAVINGS! It also include:
Thermaxx uses NAIMA’s 3E plus software to verify and calculate the BTU loss on the bare vs. insulated components. This process not only highlights potential savings, but also focuses on areas that may present possible workplace hazards to those working nearby.
Along with promoting energy savings and workplace safety, our heat-loss report is used to help the understanding of how missing insulation can affect day-to-day operations. Our heat-loss reports are highly transparent, allowing customers to review and understand in detail what opportunity have been identified, while also giving an easy to understand overview. Below is an example of a completed heat loss report. Thermaxx walks our customers through how to read and understand this valuable tool in order to make informed investment decisions.
The heat-loss report also acts as a scope of work to be followed in each step of a Thermaxx insulation project. The information is clear, concise and presentable to local gas companies to help qualify for facility wide incentive opportunities.
Once a project is completed, the same information collected on the heat-loss report is transferred to our sister company, Slate Pages, a user-friendly asset tracking and management system for our customers personal use. This platform provides our customers with:
So, what is a heat-loss? A heat-loss is the backbone to an insulation project and a no-cost energy loss status update.
