About NITP

Until now, there has been no other place or organization within the thermal insulation industry that offered a truly unbiased way of looking at the engineering, application and maintenance of insulation systems. The answer to this problem is the National Insulation Training Program (NITP). The core goal of this new 2-day training program is to provide professionals across all market segments and job functions with a working knowledge of insulation and insulation systems design that can help avoid costly mistakes that result in system failure and injury to plant personnel. The concept is to make the process of designing, specifying, and installing insulation quicker and easier. The program provides tools developed and proven by experts, to make designing and specifying insulation systems easier and more accurate. The tools make the job of engineering insulation systems easy-once you know how to use them. Developed by a number of industry experts, the program is presented by a cadre of instructors who understand real world conditions and challenges.

While insulation manufacturers have provided assistance in course development, the program is unbiased and strictly focused on maximizing the potential of people and technology. Participants receive 1.5 continuing education units for attending the program. The training program is designed to appeal to anyone involved in any way with insulation systems, regardless of job responsibility or level of experience, including: building systems specialists, mechanical engineers, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems specialists, plant managers, facilities engineers, specifiers, systems designers, estimators, specification writers, and sales representatives.

Because facility/plant managers and building owners are generally unaware of the role insulation plays in their facility or process, they often don't view it as a critical component. One of the program's goals is to make attendees aware of the benefits and tremendous savings potential of a well-engineered insulation system. The course uses actual case studies that reinforce the benefits of insulation and answer the question: Why insulate? The class also addresses other crucial aspects of the insulation process, such as determining the right insulation thickness, installation considerations, the specification process, and the importance of maintenance.
