Located on Jeju island in South Korea, Jeju Shinhwa World is an exciting
travel destination that spans a land area of about 2.5 million square
metres and cost about US$2.5 billion in development. The project
opened progressively from the beginning of 2017 and the second phaseof construction has commenced. Jeju is a popular tourist destination
and with further plans to position the island as a MICE* capital, Jeju
Shinhwa World is at the centre of this development, and expectations as well as energy demands - on a project of this magnitude is very high.
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems play a central
role in supporting the comfort and safety of indoor environments. Itpushes air through ducts that run through walls, ceilings and floors
to circulate air, while chilled water pipe systems help to moderate thetemperature conditions. Plus, it can either help to defend against orcontribute to indoor air quality. The right insulation material for an
air-handling system must resist moisture while ensuring that the air
passing through it remains mould-, dust- and fibre-free. Conventional
materials could absorb moisture and potentially support growth ofmould and mildew or particulate fibres into the indoor air, significantly
degrading the indoor environment.

Jeju is a popular tourist attraction, and the only island in the world to be awarded the “Triple Crown” by
UNESCO - Biosphere Reserve in 2002, World Natural Heritage in 2007 and Global Geopark in 2010. In 2019,
the South Korean government announced plans to invest US$150 million to enhance Jeju as a MICE* capital.
Jeju Shinhwa World is the first of its kind on the island, comprised of four premium hotels - including Marriott
Resort and luxury condominiums to offer more than 2,000 guest rooms, a theme park, an adventure waterpark, a casino, a convention centre as well as retail space.

Insulation of ducting and piping systems is one of the easiest and mostcost-effective means of saving energy. Engineers for the project knewthat flexible elastomeric foam insulation was the ideal material for HVAC
applications, trusting it to provide reliable condensation control andsupport for long-term energy efficiency. It was also important for themthat the material used in this project met with the Korean Standards(KS) - a national standard deliberated by the Industrial Standardization
Council in accordance with the Industrial Standardization Law ofthe country. Armacell’s representatives regularly met with projectstakeholders to provide technical advice, including identifying
the right insulation thickness for different applications of varying
operating conditions. They also proposed the use of complementaryaccessories, such as ArmaFlex 850 adhesive and tapes to further
enhance operational reliability and aesthetics. A total of 86,000 metresof ArmaFlex Class 1 tube insulation and 26,000 square metres ofArmaFlex Class 1 sheet insulation was supplied to this prestigious
project.
