Oct. 22, 2012: NAIMA Launches New Version of 3E Plus Insulation Thickness Software
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) has launched a new version of its 3E Plus® insulation thickness software program that operates in the Windows® XP, Vista, and Windows 7 environments. 3E Plus performs a wide range of energy, economic, and environmental calculations to help determine cost savings through increased insulation thicknesses. The program was developed by NAIMA to simplify the task of calculating how much insulation is necessary to use less energy, protect personnel against hot piping and equipment, control condensation, reduce plant emissions, and improve efficiency. The program and new screen-by-screen user guide may be downloaded free of charge at www.pipeinsulation.org.
3E Plus is designed to quickly and accurately determine where additional insulation can improve the efficiency of pipes, boilers, tanks, and ducts. By calculating the potential energy and cost savings over time, users can gauge the return on investment for insulation upgrades.
