Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized construction worker who installs insulation materials inside and outside buildings to reduce heat loss and improve energy-saving performance.
Description
Building insulation installers install insulation materials on the exterior walls, roofs, floors, etc., of houses and buildings, suppressing heat movement to enhance indoor environmental comfort and energy efficiency. Based on site drawings, they select and process insulation materials and seal gaps with airtight sheets and tape. Work in confined spaces and at heights is common, requiring accurate construction with consideration for safety management and work efficiency. In recent years, with the普及 of ZEH housing and high-performance insulation materials, verifying insulation performance and adapting to new materials have also become important.
Future Outlook
Demand for insulation installation is increasing with the promotion of decarbonization and energy saving. As high-performance insulation materials and ZEH housing spread, the market value of specialized technicians will rise.
