Benefit: Thermal Performance
Maximising the Fletcher Insulation Thermal Performance Advantages
Extensive research and empirical evidence firmly establish the impact of insulation on a building’s thermal efficiency. Studies conducted in Australia consistently demonstrate that effective insulation significantly reduces heat transfer, resulting in a more stable and healthier indoor environment and substantial energy savings, reducing carbon emissions.
According to the Australian Government’s Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, insulation can save up to 45% or more on heating and cooling costs in residential houses. And the benefits of energy savings extend across diverse built environments, including schools, universities, offices, warehouses, hospitals, medical centres, retail complexes, hospitality and entertainment venues, as well as transportation hubs.
