Addressing Failing Insulation in a Critical Healthcare Facility
Hospitals rely on properly insulated air handling units (AHUs) to maintain optimal indoor air quality, temperature control, and energy efficiency. Over time, insulation can deteriorate due to weather exposure, moisture infiltration, and general wear and tear—leading to heat loss, system inefficiency, and potential equipment damage.
The hospital’s rooftop AHU-3 insulation had begun to fail, exposing the unit to external elements and reducing its overall efficiency. The Banner Environmental team was called in to remove the failing insulation and install a new, durable weatherproofing system.
Scope of Work: Insulation Removal & Installation
Our expert technicians executed a comprehensive insulation repair and wrap service, which included:
1. Safe Removal of Failing Insulation
- We carefully removed the deteriorated insulation, ensuring no debris was left behind.
- Proper disposal methods were used to adhere to environmental safety regulations.
2. Installation of High-Quality Insulation Materials
- We installed Johns Manville Sheathing AP Foil 2.0″ thick foam board on all four sides of the AHU.
- This double-sided foil-wrapped insulation provides superior thermal resistance and moisture control.
3. Clad Wrap Weatherproofing for Longevity
- To ensure long-term durability, our team applied aluminum Venture Clad 1577CW wrap.
- This high-performance weatherproofing protects against rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations.
4. Precise Sealing & Trimming for Maximum Protection
- Our technicians ensured a seamless fit, overlapping the new insulation with the adjacent existing wrap to eliminate gaps and prevent air leaks.
These steps fully restored the hospital’s AHU with enhanced thermal efficiency and long-lasting protection.
The Results: Improved Energy Efficiency & System Performance
- Restored Insulation Integrity: The newly installed foam board insulation prevents heat loss, reduces strain on the AHU, and improves energy efficiency.
- Enhanced Weatherproofing: The clad wrap protection protects the unit from harsh weather conditions.
- Optimized HVAC Performance: The hospital now benefits from consistent airflow, stable temperature control, and reduced energy costs.
This insulation upgrade helps the facility maintain optimal air quality and patient comfort—key factors in a hospital environment.
