The European Industrial Insulation Foundation (EIIF) offers training for 'Tipcheck Ambassadors' to enhance their skills in promoting the energy efficiency of insulation services through a standardized auditing tool. The Tipcheck program helps evaluate industrial insulation performance, leading to significant energy savings and CO2 reductions, with 75% of audits resulting in insulation investments. Training courses are available for sales and project representatives, provided that their company employs certified Tipcheck engineers.

▌The role of the TIPCHECK ambassador
Within the framework of its TIPCHECK Programme, the EiiF organizes trainings aimed at
enhancing the skills of sales-related representatives, so called TIPCHECK ambassadors.
A TIPCHECK ambassador is thus a sales talent who is in direct contact with the insulation
client (i.e. project and branch managers, marketing and communication specialists…).
TIPCHECK stands for Technical Insulation Performance Check. It is a standardized
thermal energy auditing tool to:
✓ evaluate the performance of industrial insulation systems;
✓ quantify the amount of energy and actual euros a facility is losing in its current
configuration;
✓ demonstrate how more efficient insulation could:
• save energy
• save money
• contribute to a cleaner environment through reduced CO2 emissions
• identify process efficiency improvements
• identify safety risks to personnel
TIPCHEKs are carried out by certified thermal energy auditors, so called TIPCHECK
engineers.
Did you know…?
3 out of 4 TIPCHECKs
lead to insulation
investments. Until 2016
the contract volume
generated by the first 119
TIPCHECKs realized was
more than 20 million
EUR.

• 75% of the TIPCHECKs lead to insulation investments
• ~20 million EUR was the total insulation contract volume
generated by the 119 TIPCHECKs realized
• The payback periods for the initiated TIPCHECK insulation
projects were in most cases 1 to 2 years only
• The annual energy savings achieved were more than 500,000
MWh/year (1,8 PJ/year) and CO2 reductions of more than
370.000 t CO2
TIPCHECK case study 1:
Chemical plant (NL) - Piping
Insulation investment: 66,700 EUR
Insulation savings: 112,000 EUR/a
Payback period: 0.6 (a)
A first evaluation of 180 TIPCHECKs carried out in Europe across several energy
intensive industrial sectors (i.e. chemical plants, refineries, processing plants, food and
beverage, etc.) underlines the power of the programme:

Did you know…?
With insulation solutions we
can help EU industry to
save large amounts of
energy. In total 620 PJ -
the equivalent to the energy
consumption of 10 million
households.
Did you know…?
The Energy Efficiency Directive
(2012/27/EU) states that enterprises
that are not SMEs are subject to an
energy audit carried out in an
independent and cost-effective manner
by qualified and accredited experts or
implemented and supervised by
independent authorities under national
legislation by 5 December 2015.
