The Hidden Cost of Value Engineering:
Evaluating Mineral Wool and Calcium Silicate Beyond Material Cost

When insulation decisions are driven primarily by upfront cost, the long-term consequences can include increased maintenance, moisture-related issues, reduced thermal performance, and premature asset deterioration.

Join Johns Manville's industrial insulation specialists Matt Ball and Elizabeth Sheehan on November 4 at 1 p.m. CT, for a technical examination of mineral wool and calcium silicate insulation and the role insulation selection plays in long-term asset performance. Through real-world application considerations, we'll explore how material properties influence durability, operating efficiency, corrosion management, and lifecycle costs.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how value engineering decisions can impact insulation system performance over time and learn when investing in the right insulation solution can help reduce risk and improve reliability throughout the life of the asset.

Attendees Will Learn:

• Key performance differences between mineral wool and calcium silicate insulation
• How operating temperature, mechanical loading, and environmental conditions affect insulation performance
• Common risks associated with selecting insulation based solely on first cost
• Factors that influence maintenance requirements, lifecycle cost, and asset reliability
• Applications where calcium silicate may offer long-term performance advantages

All attendees will receive a Certificate of Completion that may be submitted for credit toward professional development hours (PDH)*.
