Webinar to discuss benefits of insulating technology

ACEP’s Kaarle Strailey will talk about vacuum insulated panels, or VIPs, at an upcoming virtual webinar.

VIPs offer much higher R-value than common insulation materials. Strailey will cover how they provide exceptional insulation and potential energy savings and how they have been used in buildings around the world, including results from Alaska. He will also talk about challenges and considerations with their application in buildings and discuss new developments in active vacuum insulation to address many of these challenges. Specifically, Strailey will discuss the construction of an active vacuum insulated building envelope that was field tested earlier this winter in Palmer.

What: Vacuum insulated panels for building in Alaska’s climate
When: 6:30–8 p.m. AKDT, Thursday, April 3
Where: Register here to join via Zoom

This webinar is organized by the Alaska Center for Appropriate Technology. As part of the Path to Net Zero Energy, or NZE, workshop series. NZE buildings are homes and businesses that produces as much energy as they use. The workshop series is about finding your own path to NZE with energy efficiency and renewable energy.
