It snowed in the U.A.E., which is in the middle of the desert, in 2017, with the temperatures plummeting to –2.2 °C, while the eternally frozen Antarctica just recently saw a record high of 18 °C! Anyone who isn’t convinced that climate change is real should read these stats. And the reason? Air pollution, caused by carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases emitted by industries, vehicles, and houses.

With time, fossil fuels are being replaced by cleaner ones, to fire up DHCs. According to the Global Energy Transformation: A Roadmap to 2050 report by International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), by 2050, almost 77% of the electricity being used for DHC would come from renewable sources, primarily the sun, biomass, and geothermal energy,as against the meagre 9% in 2016. With governments putting in stringent regulations in place to up the share of renewable energy in the total electricity produced and used, DHC systems would become a lot cleaner in the coming years.

Around the world, North America has been the largest pre-insulated pipes market, on account of the significant usage of DHCs in the downtown areas of major Canadian and U.S. cities. Additionally, construction activities are picking up, and the oil and gas sector in the region is also recovering after the economic slowdown. In the coming years, the usage of such pipes would increase the fastest in Europe, mainly on account of the several policies launched by the European Union to make buildings energy efficient, including the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and Long-term Renovation Strategies (LTRS).

Therefore, to minimize heat loss and gain, so that electricity is not wasted in achieving the same, pre-insulated pipes are gaining widespread adoption.
