The National Insulation Association (NIA), a northern Virginia based trade association representing the mechanical and specialty insulation industry, was founded in 1953. It has approximately 450 member companies consisting of contractors, manufacturers, distributors, laminators and fabricators. NIA holds two major events each year, the annual convention in the spring and Committee Days, a meetings-oriented event, which occurs in the fall in the DC/Virginia area.

NIA additionally has a Foundation for Education, Training and Industry Advancement which funds many high quality programs geared toward increasing awareness of the many benefits of insulation. The Foundation has developed training programs, market surveys, a speakers bureau, and many other industry enriching programs.

NIA is constantly involved with a variety of activities, from the production of the outstanding technical resource Insulation Outlook magazine to the development of high quality industry products to committee-driven projects such as the Special Projects Task Force.
