Case Study: Swedisol assesses insulation impacts with Anthesis

Sedisol reduces insulation payback time with Anthesis Excel tool

The insulation company Swedisol sought to challenge the preconception that the upfront carbon impact of mineral wool insulation outweighs its operational benefits. They engaged Anthesis to investigate the life cycle climate, energy, and cost benefits of using thicker insulation in new builds and additional insulation in renovations.

Anthesis developed an Excel-based tool to calculate the payback time for energy use, emissions, and investment costs from both private and socio-economic perspectives. This solution provided Swedisol with a clear picture of synergies and conflicts of interest, background on key impact factors, and a functional tool to test different parameters. The work by Anthesis empowered the company to continue optimizing solutions for various building scenarios.
