FOR INVISIBLE
WASTE.
Find out exactly where your facility is losing energy — and how much it's costing you. No obligation. Just the data.
YOUR BUDGET HAS A LEAK YOU HAVEN'T FOUND YET.
- Uninsulated valves and flanges are among the highest-loss components in any mechanical system — and are rarely flagged in standard maintenance reviews.
- Insulation removed for maintenance is rarely replaced. This is standard practice across NB and PEI facilities — and it compounds into measurable annual waste.
- The loss is invisible on your utility bill. You see the total cost. You don't see the portion that proper insulation would eliminate.
- New Brunswick audit examples confirm this is systemic. The NAIMA 3E Plus Program has identified recoverable savings in facilities that believed they were already optimized.
THE SMARTEST OVERLOOKED EFFICIENCY UPGRADE IN YOUR FACILITY.
Capital budgets flow toward what is visible. Insulation is not — which is exactly why it is consistently underinvested, and exactly why the savings opportunity remains intact at most facilities across New Brunswick and PEI.
This is a financial conversation, not a maintenance one. The question is how much your insulation gaps are costing you annually — and how quickly you can recover that cost with a targeted upgrade.
NB and PEI facilities have additional leverage: The assessment team works with provincial and federal incentive programs — this assists facilities in receiving up to 50% of capital costs covered.
ROI THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
Mechanical insulation consistently delivers one of the fastest returns on investment of any energy upgrade. New Brunswick audit examples have demonstrated less-than-two-year ROI. The assessment calculates your facility's specific figures.

THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOUR FACILITY.
Industrial Facilities
High-energy-use environments with complex mechanical systems are where insulation gaps produce the most recoverable waste — and where the ROI math is most compelling.
Institutional Facilities
Large-footprint buildings with aging infrastructure benefit from the documented ROI this assessment provides — and often have access to public efficiency funding.
Commercial Real Estate
HVAC-heavy buildings where operational cost reduction is an ongoing priority. Smaller scale than industrial, but the efficiency gains are tangible and the process is identical.
REAL FACILITIES. REAL NUMBERS.
Every figure below comes from a completed Local 131 assessment. Payback periods are calculated from actual project costs and energy savings — not estimates.

WHAT FACILITY MANAGERS ARE SAYING.
The assessment process was completed with no disruption to daily operations. A comprehensive review, including thermal imaging of all key equipment, provided clear insights and multiple retrofit options for each system. This allowed for informed decision-making, with performance and return outlined at varying insulation levels to match specific goals and budgets. For a small team, the ability to receive a complete, ready-to-use package — including detailed project scopes and comparable quotes — was a major advantage. It streamlined what would typically take weeks of coordination, ensured alignment with procurement requirements, and identified the best overall value.
A newly built 2008 biology complex experienced persistent overheating in offices located above the mechanical room, despite having modern systems and cooling in place. After a full retrofit of the mechanical room, the issue was resolved entirely. The project delivered a strong return on investment, paying back in just over a year, and, most importantly, eliminated occupant complaints — which is the ultimate measure of success.
The savings projections from the audit turned out to be accurate after the upgrades were completed. The ROI was well under two years — that's something we can bring to any budget discussion with our finance director or board.
We had been considering Mechanical Insulation upgrades for years prior to the assessment but didn't have the expertise to carry out the assessment ourselves or the data to justify the capital cost. After seeing the level of detail in the reports and the savings that would be generated, we commissioned an assessment of the entire campus. We have implemented this program as a component of our overall climate strategy.
EVERY STAKEHOLDER GETS WHAT THEY NEED.
This decision rarely sits with one person. The assessment is structured to give each member of your team the specific evidence they need to move forward with confidence.
Technical Competence
Conducted by certified professionals using the NAIMA 3E Plus Program. Every finding is data-backed, not opinion-based.
Zero Disruption
An observation and analysis process only. No system shutdowns, production interruptions, or operational changes required.
The Hard Math
Estimated annual savings, upgrade costs, and simple payback — calculated for your facility and comparable to other capital decisions.
Documentation
A written report suitable for internal review, board presentation, or public reporting — supporting sustainability mandates and due-diligence requirements.
