Proving Mechanical Insulation's Worth  The training and commitment to save lives, energy and money Proper mechanical insulation and fire proofing is vital to saving energy costs and ensuring safe buildings. Adequate insulation can cut energy usage by fifty percent or more, saving users money and lessening our country’s dependence on foreign energy sources. Using less energy also means generating less carbon dioxide, the cause of global warming. 
Only the men and women of the International Association of Heat and Frost Workers have the training, expertise and commitment necessary to meet the rigorous energy and environmental standards set by public agencies. In partnership with mechanical, insulation and fire-stopping contractors of the Illinois Regional Insulation Contractors Association, union professionals are at the front line in meeting the challenges of building more energy-efficient, safer, healthier and greener buildings that residential, commercial, industrial and government users all demand. |
