Reduce CO₂ Emissions

The generation of Electricity is one of the major sources of these emissions accounting for more than 37% of Australia’s total emissions www.aph.gov.au. If everyone in Australia could cut down their electricity usage by 15% we would save more than 36 million tonnes of carbon emissions. If companies with Carbon tax exposure reduce their electricity usage for cooling (remember Insultec can reduce this by more than 50% AE Smith Westair) they not only reduce their electricity bills but also reduce their liabilities under the recently introduced carbon tax.

What if you could reduce your carbon foot print, save money and make a more comfortable working/or home environment for your family/staff all for a relatively small cost. This can be achieved by reducing the summer heat gain inside a building which is caused by radiant heat transfer from the sun shining on the roof. Applying Insultec Heat Reflective Membrane to the roof and in some cases walls of the building will reduce the internal temperature thus reducing the demand on the air-conditioning, intern using less energy and reducing carbon emissions.
