R d d k l d b h l d t – Reduced knowledge base has led to underutilization and insulation systems being applied but rarely “engineered” applied but rarely engineered – No gauges No monitoring – No monitoring – No computer chip Insulation is normally part of larger – Insulation is normally part of larger mechanical contract – “value engineered” The benefits are instantaneous The benefits are instantaneous The benefits are instantaneous, The benefits are instantaneous, but invisible and taken for granted but invisible and taken for granted
