Apollo on installing heat reflecting
membrane
Installing a heat reflecting membrane or a risk management system to control internal environments will substantially reduce a building's energy requirements.
Installing a Heat Reflecting Membrane or a Risk Management System to control internal environments will substantially reduce a building's energy requirement in three ways: Radiant heat passing through roof, ceiling, wall and floor structures will be blocked; air leakage and infiltration through the building's envelope is virtually eliminated

Applications.
Architects and Developers:.
With an Apollo Heat Reflecting Membrane (HRM) System installed, architects and developers worldwide have already recognised that their buildings are more comfortable for occupants, energy efficient and operate with reduced emissions.
Building Contractors:.
HRM Systems from Apollo are tough and tear resistant.
Simply installed in roofs, ceilings, walls and floors, they are clean to handle and easily moulded around fittings, door openings and window frames.
The method of fixing varies according to the application; some typical applications are illustrated in the Technical Section of this web.
Building Owners and Occupants:.
No matter the season or climatic zone, with a HRM System incorporated into a building's structure, interior temperatures and air quality are far easier to control, ensuring reduced energy bills and improved comfort for occupants.
House builders should view the Technical Section of the website to discover how HRM Systems provide added value to homes by reducing energy costs.
Agro-Industries:.
Keeping livestock in the appropriate ambient temperature improves yield, no matter what part of the world.
Storage of produce at the correct temperature, free from the ingress or escape of moisture or gases has obvious benefits.
Apollo's Heat Reflective Membranes provide these benefits and many more.
