Economics of thermal insulation

S. D. Probert and S. Giani

Applied Energy, 1976, vol. 2, issue 3, 189-204

Abstract: Thermal insulation can be seen, from current option-costing analyses, to be usually an excellent financial investment. Considerations of capital and revenue costs lead to simple design procedures for predicting the optimal economic thicknesses of insulants for plane walls and pipes, respectively. An energy utilisation inefficiency factor is proposed, together with a new profession of engineer--the energy accountant.
