IMAP is proprietary web-based software helping you conduct structured, professional energy audits. It helps owners visualize, schedule and plan work thereby maintaining safe, reliable and energy efficient facilities. IMAP is a training program helping you conduct facility audits. Our own professionals can support you in conducting audits for your customers, or in specific markets, can conduct full audits for facility owners. Once you have been trained to use IMAP, you are then eligible to become a Qualified IMAP Auditor. Inquire about our training sessions and begin performing structured audits today!

 WHAT IS AN IMAP AUDITOR

An IMAP Auditor is someone who conducts an audit on an organization’s insulation systems for the purpose of identifying opportunities to maximize energy efficiency. This includes a detailed audit of the insulation systems on piping and equipment and recommending repairs and/or replacement of insulation systems to increase overall efficiency and reduce fuel operating costs.

An IMAP Auditor is an experienced professional trained in the use of the IMAP proprietary software and is a certified “insulation energy appraiser” who can focus on the job at hand and is an experienced professional capable of accessing the necessary repairs required on all of the piping systems and equipment.

 WHAT DOES AN IMAP AUDITOR DO

 An IMAP Auditor fulfills the following roles;

• Conduct audit on insulation systems and develop a thermal insulation efficiency management plan;

• Conduct an insulation audit to identify energy saving opportunities throughout the facility;

• Recommends repair of insulation systems to optimize efficiency of operating conditions;

• Evaluate and present insulation energy efficiency opportunities;

• Define thermal insulation efficiency targets and review performance against targets;

• Identify potential Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) problems;

 WHY HIRE AN IMAP AUDITOR

Without someone who can provide assistance for ensuring that all energy systems are running efficiently, problems and efficiencies can be overlooked until they become crises or an organization may have potential savings they do not know exist. These inefficiencies create unnecessary costs that lower an organization’s profitability and competitiveness. On the other hand, an IMAP Auditor can help an organization reduce energy and operating costs, in the short term through sound day-to-day insulation energy management, and in the long-term, through integrated energy planning.  In addition to financial savings of energy and money, the improved energy efficiency can increase productivity, lengthen equipment life and help an organization meet its environmental and safety goals.

 WHAT STEPS CAN AN IMAP AUDITOR RECOMMEND

Typically, IMAP Auditors use three energy saving strategies;

• Best practices; Behavioral measures that require no capitol outlay, such as recommending repairs that can lead to safe efficient facilities;

• Low cost improvements; Steps that require moderate investment, such as reparing insulation systems based on industry accepted guidelines;

• Medium to high-cost improvements; Measures that require large investments, such as complete insulation system removal and replacement

        COULD YOUR BUSINESS BENEFIT FROM AN IMAP AUDITOR

Smart business owners and facility managers know that sound energy management is an essential component of successful business performance. They also know that energy management can best provide long-term savings when it is integrated into business management practices. The problem is that even though building owners and managers may recognize energy-saving opportunities in their facilities, they often lack the time, internal resources, or the skills needed to transform the opportunities into reality. With insulation being the single most important factor to consider in controlling energy costs, the solution, for an ever-growing number of industry and organizations, is to contact a Qualified IMAP Auditor. Our certified “Insulation Energy Appraisers”, using the IMAP proprietary software will identify all of your thermal insulation energy saving opportunities. Large institutional, commercial, manufacturing and industrial organizations committed to improving their overall energy efficiency and environmental performance can benefit from having an IMAP audit performed.
