GEM conducted surveys of the 3 sites at

During the surveys GEM took bespoke measurements from theĀ  exposed pipework.

A costing and energy loss calculations using empirical tables were supplied to the Council for consideration.

Bespoke thermal insulation jackets are a logical energy savings solution for all your exposed awkward pipe work.

A recent GEM case study, where the heating system was heat metered before and after the insulation jackets were fitted, showed that the use of the jackets saved more than was expected compared with the energy loss calculations which had been conducted using standard empirical tables. More to follow!
