Actually <strong>Tipcheck means Technical Insulation Performance Check<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tipcheck audit is implemented by Eiif, the European Industrial Insulation Foundation, with the aim of giving the industrial sector instruments &nbsp;and solutions to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions by improving their insulation systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How a Tipcheck energy audit works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The scope&nbsp; of &nbsp;Tipcheck audit is to assess the insulation systems of existing facilities, planned projects or retrofit interventions &nbsp;in order to demonstrate how more efficient insulation can save energy, &nbsp;money and help the environment by reducing CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tipcheck audit consists of a standardised protocol with the scope of &nbsp;producing a recommendation document based on universal insulation practices. &nbsp;It has six steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Technical preparation <\/strong>(2 days): a meeting is held with company managers to define the aim, purpose and targets of audit;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plant visit <\/strong>(1 -2 days): the scope of this visit is to check the points \u201cmost at risk\u201d of heat loss, such as valves, flanges, pipes, which are not insulated, damaged or insufficiently insulated;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tipcheck data collection<\/strong> (1-2 days): in this step there is a survey on the points identified as problematic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Energy saving calculation<\/strong>: based on the data collected during the measurements, the current thermal energy loss of the installation can be calculated, it is also possible to calculate how much it can be reduced by applying the best insulation procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Report creation<\/strong> (1-4 weeks);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Presentation of results<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first 4 steps the data are collected and checked, while in the last two steps a presentation is issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of the Tipcheck Audit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tipcheck audit contributes to energy management systems such as ISO 50001 and can effectively answer how insulation can produce immediate benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduction of production costs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase of energy efficiency;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduction of CO2 emissions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improvement of process efficiency;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduction of \u00a0risks to personnel and equipment;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase of competitiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The audit is only the first step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>energy audit<\/strong> is very <strong>important<\/strong> to <strong>every company<\/strong>, because it can reveal exactly what the <strong>weak points<\/strong> of a plant are and in this way plan the best way to solve them, through the use of more efficient insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New Componit<\/strong> is certified to supply a <strong>Tipcheck energy audit<\/strong> and&nbsp;
