According to general building standards, it is important to insulate the air conditioning ducts against heat and fire. Taking care of sound attenuation is also vital when ensuring a comfortable environment.
Thermal insulation assures the functionality of the air conditioning system and the direction of the right kind of air to places where it is required. Thermal insulation also reduces the total energy consumption of the building by directing heat as planned.
Fire insulation ensures sufficient escape time in the event of fire and limits fire to certain fire cells.
Insulation is also needed to attenuate the noise from air conditioning units and flows in ducts, in order that the noise does not impair the environment.
