Diversified Energy is proud to introduce QE Platinum to the greater New Orleans/Louisiana Gulf South region. QE Platinum is a cutting-edge energy efficiency product that differs from conventional insulation that only blocks heat flow. Instead, QE Platinum actively captures, stores, and releases thermal energy before it enters your home or business.
The proprietary PCM formulations for QE Platinum are chosen based on regional climate zones, enabling us to provide customized solutions for homes, businesses, offices, and schools that deliver optimal comfort and performance.
What Is QE Platinum?
QE Platinum [QEP] is a cutting-edge energy efficiency product that combines two proven technologies; phase change materials [PCMs] and radiant barrier. Unlike traditional insulation products that only work to slow the flow of heat, QEP actively absorbs, stores, and releases heat before it ever gets to your current insulation.
QEP is kind of like a year-round quilted, radiant barrier blanket that is filled with PCMs, which helps keep your home or business cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. QEP also significantly reduces the load on your HVAC equipment to reduce your cooling and heating costs by up to 50%.
Fast Installation
Our professional installation crews can install QE Platinum in a fraction of the time when compared to upgrading or replacing your current insulation. QEP can be laid directly over your current attic insulation, stapled in place vertically on stem and side walls, or placed directly on top of ceiling tiles in dropped ceilings.
Guaranteed Energy Savings
QE Platinum is backed by a 20% energy savings guarantee for qualifying homes or buildings. How many other high-performance energy efficiency products come with that kind of guarantee? If your qualifying home or business has not achieved a minimum of 20% savings on your cooling and heating bill, QE Platinum will cut you a check for the difference.
30 Year Warranty
QE Platinum is covered by a comprehensive 30-year warranty.
Proudly Made In The USA
QE Platinum is a US company and proudly sourced and manufactured in the USA. When you put QE Platinum in your home or business, you are helping support an American business and American jobs.
Fire Safety
QE Platinum boasts an incredible ASTM E-84 rating [Flame: 5/Smoke: 5].
FAQs about QE Platinum Insulation
Phase Change Materials, or PCMs have been around for a very long time and come in all types of formulations. PCMs are materials designed to store or release heat at predetermined temperatures to provide useful heating and cooling characteristics.
Without going into a complex scientific explanation, the phase change material inside QE Platinum [QEP] is custom-formulated to start absorbing heat when a specified ambient temperature is reached. It then actively works to store that heat until the ambient temperature has peaked. Once the ambient temperature starts to drop, QEP gradually releases the stored heat.
Absorb – Store – Release
When you have QEP installed over the existing insulation in your attic, it works like an active, heat storage barrier to stop the heat from ever making it through to your existing insulation and then your house or business. This reduces the load on your HVAC system significantly, producing significant savings on your cooling and heating bill, and improves the overall comfort inside your home or business.
The proprietary PCM formulations for QE Platinum are tailored to regional climate zones, providing customized solutions for homes, businesses, offices, and schools that offer optimal comfort and performance. Despite prioritizing savings and comfort, safety is never compromised with QE Platinum, which holds a Class-A Fire Safety Rating and provides unparalleled peace of mind in case of fire.
QE Platinum is an ideal energy-saving solution for residential homes. It can be easily retrofitted by simply placing it on top of existing insulation in the attic. Through its active capture, storage, and release of thermal energy at its phase change temperature, QE Platinum reduces the need for cooling during the summer months. In the winter, it maximizes heat storage by capturing and retaining heat inside the home. Additionally, QE Platinum absorbs and stores a remarkable 100 BTUs per square foot, allowing homeowners to shift and lower their peak HVAC usage and easily avoid expensive energy surcharges.
In commercial settings, QE Platinum is easily installed by our trained technicians on top of the suspended ceiling and/or a traditional attic space. Energy usage is responsible for nearly 40% of operating costs in commercial spaces, making QE Platinum a simple and cost-effective solution for business owners and energy management professionals.
Unlike traditional insulation methods such as fiberglass, cellulose, and spray foam that require time-consuming and labor-intensive installation processes, QE Platinum is easy to handle and install. Pliable, lightweight, and simple to work with, QE Platinum can be placed on top of existing attic insulation or suspended ceiling tiles in your office, school, or business. Installing QE Platinum instantly enhances the thermal efficiency of your space. It absorbs, stores, and releases thermal energy at your desired temperature range, keeping you comfortable while reducing HVAC usage.
