Insulation

Insulation is the most cost-effective way to reduce carbon emissions. As the industrial sector collectively works to reduce carbon emissions, Brown & Root is committed to supporting customers and their sustainability efforts. Our ability to perform insulation energy audits, supply insulation products, and install insulation allows us to provide full-service insulation solutions.   

In addition to reducing carbon emissions and cost, insulation improves the efficiency of systems and equipment and helps contribute to the lifespan of the equipment. A reduction of ambient noise, as well as a reduction in ambient temperatures, are also common benefits of insulation, subsequently lowering the risk of hearing loss and burns.
