A Contractor's Perspective: 10 things to look for (Alec J. Rexroat, Insulatoroutlook.com [pdf])
To avoid costly problems, facility owners, engineers, and architects should check some basic things
on their mechanical insulation systems during construction...
Bringing mechanical insulation out of the shadows (Alec J. Rexroat, Insulation.org)
The single most energy-efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly segment of the construction and maintenance of any facility

Whole Building Design Guide
The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) and the National Insulation Association (NIA) has developed this guide to
mechanical insulation for commercial and industrial applications. It is intended to be a comprehensive resource to assist
specifiers and users of mechanical insulation in the design and specification of mechanical insulation systems for a wide
range of applications....
