Abstract:
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) consume a lot of energy due to inefficient usage of
energy which otherwise can be conserved by the usage of effective thermal insulations. In the
present study, an Indian SME was identified on the basis of replication potential for
implementing thermal insulation practice and energy conservation. This paper includes
literature about energy, exergy and importance of thermal insulation to improve efficiency.
Thermal insulation thickness, heat loss and exergy loss calculations are included as per ASTM
C680 to compare efficiency before and after applying thermal insulation.
