From the archives: Best practices on insulation
By Staff -- Plant Engineering, 6/1/2006
Energy efficiency is a major concern today, but plant staffs have long known of the importance of energy conservation – and PLANT ENGINEERING readers have been receiving updates on energy best practices for nearly 60 years. In June 2003, Christopher Russell from the Alliance to Save Energy was sharing this insight:

Just as savings have a specific place in a financial plan for creating wealth, so does insulation play a role in optimizing a plant’s valuable energy resources.”
