Energy Efficiency
ModuSec provides the lowest U value available for a 100mm thick construction. This low U value effectively eliminates solar gain – saving energy and providing a stable environment for cooling systems. With the onslaught of Global Warming, regular 40°C summers are forecast soon. ModuSec may allow a lower specification AC system and provide significant savings in running costs as well as lowering the carbon footprint of your server room / data centre.
The figures below show the U value comparison of pyro-foam with traditional partition materials:
| Construction Material | W/m2K |
|---|---|
| Single glazed window | 5.7 |
| Double glazed window | 2.8 |
| Solid brick / block wall | 2.5 |
| Brick / block cavity wall with insulation between | 0.5 |
| 100mm mineral wall core panel | 0.38 |
| Stud Partition with mineral wool infill | 0.35 |
| 100mm ModuSec panel with Pyrofoam core | 0.18 |
i.e. the ModuSec panel has more than double the energy efficiency of mineral wool panels of the same thickness.
