Ibhodi elisekelayo lidlala indima ebalulekile ekushiseni okushisayo nasekuvimbeleni amanzi. Ngokufaka i-insulation, ibhodi elisekelayo ngokuvamile linezinga elithile lokufakwa kwe-thermal, okuvimbela ngempumelelo ukudluliswa kokushisa. Isakhiwo saso sangaphakathi sakha ungqimba oluvikelayo, olunciphisa ukushintshana kokushisa phakathi kwangaphakathi nangaphandle, ngaleyo ndlela kunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kwesakhiwo. Ngokwesibonelo, ebusika obubandayo, kunciphisa ukulahlekelwa ukushisa, ukugcina ukufudumala; ehlobo elishisayo, ivimbela ukudluliswa kokushisa okuvela ngaphandle, igcine ingaphakathi lipholile. Ngokuvimbela amanzi, ibhodi elisekelayo lisebenza njengesithiyo sokuvimbela ukungena komswakama. Ivimbela amanzi emvula, amanzi angaphansi komhlaba, kanye nomunye umswakama ukuba angangeni esakhiweni, ivikela isakhiwo ekugugulekeni kwamanzi. Ngokwesibonelo, ekuvimbeleni amanzi ophahleni, ibhodi elisekelayo livimbela amanzi emvula ukuba angangeni endlini; endaweni engaphansi yokuvimbela amanzi, ivimba amanzi angaphansi komhlaba ukuthi angangeni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ibhodi elisekelayo lithuthukisa ukuzinza nokuqina kwesakhiwo. Izakhiwo zayo ezinhle kakhulu zokuvimbela amanzi kanye nezindawo zokushisa ezishisayo zinciphisa umonakalo esakhiweni sesakhiwo esibangelwa ukuguquguquka komswakama nokushisa, ukwandisa impilo yayo yesevisi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kwezinye izindawo ezinezidingo eziphakeme zomswakama kanye nezinga lokushisa, njengezindawo zokugcina izimpahla, amagumbi omshini, njll., i-thermal insulation kanye nomsebenzi ongenamanzi webhodi elisekelayo kungakha izimo ezifanele zemvelo zalezi zindawo futhi kuvikele izinto ezigciniwe kanye nemishini emonakalweni.
