Energy efficiency and environmental
protection with Isover glass mineral wool
More and more specifiers and users are insisting on the
use of insulation materials that not only deliver technical
performance but also offer exceptional green credentials.
Isover glass mineral wool boasts Zero ODP (Ozone Depletion
Potential) and Zero GWP (Global Warming Potential).

U = Thermal losses due to the different temperatures between the airflow within the duct and that
of the surrounding air temperature.
Q1 = Thermal losses as above but expressed in KWh instead of W/m2K, for the parameters given.

ACOUSTIC INSULATION IN HVAC SYSTEMS
Noise (considered as unwanted sound) was declared an
environmental pollutant in the International Conference
for the Environment held in Stockholm in 1972.
Noise has a wide range of consequences for humans, from
disturbance reducing personal comfort (such as lack of privacy
or difficulty in talking) which can eventually lead to illnesses
such as auditory problems and stress, etc.
HVAC installations can produce variable sound levels,
depending on the design, installation and equipment
power. In particular, noise generated by fans and air
conditioning units could be transmitted through ducts.
C L I M AV E R Neto helps to eliminate this problem.

C L I M AV E R Neto applications
Lightweight
The exceptional strength to weight ratio of the 25mm
C L I M AV E R Neto panels means the C L I M AV E R
Neto Plenum box is easy to handle and install. It is more
than 80% lighter than a traditional metal duct plus lagging.
No light reflection
C L I M AV E R Neto is faced on one side with a black
glass textile facing which is non-reflective. This stops light
reflecting off the inside of the Plenum box through the
grille or linear diffuser.
Pre-insulated
C L I M AV E R Neto is already totally insulated and requires
no lagging.
Fast installation
The C L I M AV E R Neto Plenum box has a single fix
installation as it requires no lagging. It can therefore be
fitted in around 25% of the time of a Plenum box fabricated
from sheet metal and insulated as a second operation.
Ease of installation and handling
C L I M AV E R Neto Plenum boxes are up to 80% lighter
than traditional equivalents. This lightweight quality
means that only one person is required to install a
C L I M AV E R Neto Plenum box, and it rarely needs
any additional support.
Cost savings
The lightness, pre-insulation and speed of fitting combine
to give significant cost savings compared to sheet metal
and lagging Plenum boxes.
