2015 – Quarter 1
The warmest year ever! A new report from NASA and NOAA details that 2014 was the hottest year on record and that should make energy conservation a top priority for many in 2015.
Long-term investments
You can save money in the long run by investing in modern appliances, energy-efficient windows, home sealants and newer heating and cooling systems. Adding insulation lowers air loss, making it easier and cheaper to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. Other options:
Radiant heat barriers: They keep heat out in the summer and keep it in during the winter, reducing heat gain by up to 93%. “Radiant barriers perform best in hot climates and hot conditions, but they can also benefit in cold climates by holding heat in the house,” says Robert Wadsworth of the Reflective Insulation Manufacturers Association.
LO/MIT radiant barrier is an ideal way to reduce the carbon footprint of a home or structure at a low cost, by lowering its demand on air conditioning. LO/MIT is used as a heat reflector in a wide variety of industries to help control thermal flows, reduce energy costs and increase performance.
We look forward to helping you solve your heat transfer problems in 2015!

Current Projects/Looking Ahead:
SOLEC has completed the ES-CRRC Energy Star Certification process with its LO/MIT-I coating. This is the new third party verification program for Energy Star rated roof coatings.
SOLEC is currently working with RIMA-I and ASTM on the inclusion of Interior Radiation Control Coating systems into the International Building Code. The International Code Council‘s IBC: Section 720 “Thermal and Sound Insulating Materials” will soon include sections covering the use and compliance of IRCCs.
ICAA Show. Las Vegas, NV 10/1-10/3, 2015. SOLEC will again be exhibiting the LO/MIT products at the Insulation Contractors’ Association of America Convention at the Red Rock Resort (Booth # TBD) in October. We hope many of our contractor friends plan to attend. If you would like to schedule a meeting with us during the convention, please contact Robert Aresty at info@solec.org to coordinate. We will have a reminder about this in our next newsletter later in the year.
