Energy efficiency is one of the leading trends in the global and Russian construction industry. Many factors contribute to increasing attention to energy efficiency in newly built and operated facilities, including rising energy prices and the need to live within our means. Thermal insulation, correctly selected and correctly applied at construction sites, gives a significant economic effect not only during the construction process, but also during the entire service life of the building.
At the initiative of TechnoNICOL, one of the largest producers of mineral insulation in Russia, in the capital of Crimea, Simferopol, a seminar was held on the topic: “Reducing heat loss at the objects of gas-fired and private housing construction. Improving the energy efficiency of buildings through the use of basalt thermal insulation”. The representatives of the "Mineral Isolation" direction of the company spoke at the seminar: Alexander Budchenko - director of development of the division and Lyudmila Mantsova - director of development of regions of the Southern Federal District, North Caucasus Federal District, KFD.
In his report, Alexander Budchenko presented to the audience - specialists in the construction industry of the Crimea, the developments of the TechnoNICOL company, which make it possible to achieve the main thing - to increase the energy efficiency of buildings and structures, reduce heat loss and create a comfortable microclimate in the premises. According to Alexander Budchenko, stone wool insulation is the most demanded building material. According to the study, in 2014, more than 40% of the consumption of thermal insulation materials was accounted for by stone wool. The popularity of stone wool is due to its high quality and compliance with such important criteria as energy efficiency, manufacturability, durability and fire safety. In addition, stone wool heaters have low thermal conductivity, dimensional stability, and high strength. The speaker explained that the range of the company covers all areas of application of heat and sound insulation of buildings and structures. TechnoNICOL has created integrated solutions for thermal insulation of roofs, facades, foundations and floors for industrial and civil construction. A number of materials have also been developed for low-rise and individual cottage construction - wood, including frame, concrete, from small-piece materials (foam blocks, expanded clay concrete blocks), etc. Lyudmila Mantsova spoke about the customer service and services that TechnoNICOL renders to its partners in each constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
A noticeable interest among the Crimeans was aroused by the message that for the convenience of working with partners, an interactive reference book ProektNavigator was created. On the website proekt.tn.ru you can get all the necessary information about the company's materials, quickly and easily choose the right solution for any building structure. In ProektNavigator, you can perform all the necessary heat engineering calculations, select a heat-insulating material of the required thickness, familiarize yourself with and download all regulatory documents and certificates for the products of interest.
Among other additional services offered by the company, it should be noted technical support in the design of buildings and the activities of 14 training centers, which have equipped classrooms for both theoretical and practical classes. By the way, the closest training center to the Crimea is located in Krasnodar.
Another advantage of the company in Crimea is the presence in Simferopol of its own representative office, whose employees are aimed at helping customers. All of the above principles of working with clients explain why the latter prefer working with TechnoNICOL and choose thermal insulation based on stone wool for significant and status objects in many regions of the country. Already in 2016, it is planned to commission the 7th TECHNONICOL stone wool plant in Krasny Sulin, Rostov Region, which will reduce the cost of logistics services related to the delivery of the company's products to the peninsula.
