The problem with heating and cooling metal buildings is that they are made of…well, metal. This highly conductive material is not very good at maintaining a constant temperature against the ever-changing elements. Anyone who has ever worked in a factory during the extreme temperature seasons could attest to the fact. These energy hogs require enormous amounts of power to maintain a temperature equilibrium that satisfies the inhabitants. This type of expense will eat into any businesses coffers, eroding profits as surely as water erodes rock. However, there are solutions to the problem. Energy efficient metal buildings do exist due to a revolutionary new technology employing a layered system of insulation. Two pads of insulation sandwich a cleverly designed thermal block, effectively separating the metal exterior from the internal purlins and girts, thus doubling the R-Value of the insulation. This layered effect, in essence, creates a continuous insulation system that not only insulates much more efficiently but also reduces moisture levels against the purlins and minimizes the fire hazards that are associated with the older system. One would think that this newer technology would be costly, considering the massive benefits that are derived from it, but surprisingly the cost of the new system is only about a third of the cost of the older, less efficient system. Of course, if one has to upgrade their building to incorporate this newer technology there will be an initial outlay of funds. However, given the amount of wasted energy and its associated monthly cost, the newer system would undoubtedly pay for itself in a short period of time. From there, the rest of the savings are pure profit. Sealed N Safe is a energy efficient metal buildings manufactures an energy efficient system that is both cost effective and easy to implement. Our systems are specifically designed to meet or exceed US Energy Codes. (http://sealednsafe.com/)
