In this half-day workshop, we will explore key insulation concepts and review case studies where robust insulation systems helped to achieve energy efficiency and cost savings. Through this combination of theoretical knowledge and practical examples, you will gain insight into how you can optimise energy efficiency through effective insulation strategies and maximise returns on investment for your projects.
