Excellent Insulation System
The EnergyCraft@ lnsulation System creates the uniform depth
space needed for the optimum ìnsulalion thickness and delivers
the maximum possible insulalion performance. Properly sealed
ceiling and wall systems prevenf air infiltration and isolate the
conductive steel structure from the condilioned space.The
EnergyCraft@ lnsulation System provides both low U-Factors and
low emissivity values, stopping over 90"/" of the combined lhree
types of heat lransfer.
CIass A Fire Hazard Classification
The vapor reiarder fabric liner of the standard EnergyCraft@
Insulation System complies with: ASTM C1 136, Types I through Vl;
NFPA 701 Large Scale; flame spread af 25 o( less per ASTM E-84
(equivalent to NFPA 255, ANSI 2.5 or ULIULC 723).
Absorbs Sound
Provides excellent yet inexpensive acouslic finishes where
conventional suspended ceilings are not appropriale or nol in the
budget. Standard syslem has 75% sound absorption (NÊC 0"75).
This superb by-product of the EnergyCraft@ lnsulation Syslem
comes free with lhe sysiem. Ëxcellent for gymnasiums, arenas,
houses of worshlp, manufacluring, entertainment spaces and
multipurpose rooms.
Finishes and Decorates
The EnergyOraft@ lnsulat¡on Syslem's clean while appearance is
often used as an exposed inlerior finish in buildings. Purlins and
girts are hidden, eliminating the cost to paint them. Various colors
and slrap patterns may be specified lo oblain unique aesÌhetic
appearances. The ceiling and wall su¡faces are washable and easy
to mainlain. (Some minor wrinkles may be visible due to lhe large
pieces oT support fabric used.)
Brightens lnteriors
The white, light reflective surface enhances elficiency of lhe lighting
syslem. Light reÍlectance tests of up lo 80% are achieved. Savings
of lighting equipment, wiring and electricity result in substantial
dollar savings for the building owner. Low ultraviolet producing
lighl sources or UV filtered lenses are necessary to prevent UV
degradation and oblain optimum service life.
Helps Prevent Condensation
The high strenglh EnergyCralt@ fabric liner isolates the cold
conductive purlin and girl surfaces from lhe inside conditioned air,
reducing lhe exposed conductive purlin and girt surface areas from
about 50% of the roof and wall areas to a Traction of 1%. Water
vapor transmission rate is s 0.02 grains per hourisq. ft. for the
slandard fabric liner. Factory-made, trìple extrusion welded seams
are pressure resistant to assure very low vapor permeance and
vapor retarder integrity as opposed to lhousands of staple holes or
hidden, unsealed lap joints typical with older methods of insulalion.
Retrofit Application
Adding systems lo existing building roof and wall structures
from the inside is also possible with the EnergyCraft@ lnsulation
System. Single directional strap systems are standard in retrofit
applìcations. Grids palterns are available for an additional cost.

Metal Building Wall Detail
1/EnergyCraft@ Metal Building Wall System
The EnergyCralt@ wall insulation system is installed completely from lhe inside, out of
the wind and weather, Unfaced insulation lengths are simply cr"lt to fit lhe girt spacings
and then impaled onto the pre{ormed Fast-R@ insulation hangers. These prevent the
fiber glass from sagging. The fabric liner is then installed on the inside plane of the wall
to isolate the insulation and conductive girts f rom the conditioned air. This also provides
a clean, bright, finished appearance.
Filling The Full Girt Depth ls Required
Single layer systems help speed the wall sheeting process and a thick single layer of
unfaced insulation is preferred to two layers of compressed laminated insulation in
walls. The Energycraft@ single layer liner systems prevent bulging and dimpling of the
metal wall panels which is common with laminated insulation compressed between the
panels and through-{astened to the sub-structure.
The full depth should be filled to minimize loss of thermal performance caused by
convection currents. Wall panel laps, trim and flashing should be sealed per codes to
prevent air infiltration into the insulation. Syseal Building WraprM is also available for the
ultimate in air leakage resistance.
The EnergyGraft@ lnsulation System installs in virtually any wall
structure type to make any building envelCIpe energy efficient.

Patented Fall Protection
The MBI Safety Liner SysïemrM quickly inslalts from lifts and
the workers are then safe to work from above without the
need lo be restrained by cumbersome lanyards or restricted to
controlled decking zones. Thermal Design includes the patented
fall protection as a free slandard feature of lhe MBI Sa{ely Liner
SyslemrM. The MBI Safety Liner SystemrM requires two crilical
strap end fasteners to achieve safe alternative fall protection.
Custom Project Drawings and lnstructions
Detailed, custom project drawings are standard for each building.
Specific strap and fastener locations, bay spacings, fabric sizes
and exact insulation sizes and placements are all provided for the
MBI Safety Liner SystemrM to achieve a safe elfective installation.
WAtrNlNG: Producls lhat restrict llre end fastening io "a single
fastenei'are atlempting io avoid palent infringemenl over safely.
Single end faslening does nol reliably pass prescribed fall
prolection drop lests.
OSHA Steel Erection Standard
On January 18 of 2001, the new steel erection standard was
published in the Federal Register. The new standard requlres
full fall proteclion for steel erectors and insulators at heights
greater than 15 feet. This rule became effective July 18, 2001
(wwwosha.gov). Owners, architects and upline contractors are
potentially liable for compliance of workers on pro.jects under
their control (Slandard 29 CFR Definitions-1 926.751 "Controlling
Contractor"). The Federal Registry, Vol. 66 No. 12 states that:
"A controlling contraetor is an entity lhat has general
su¡rervisory ãuthority over the work site such that it can
con'ect safety anel health violations itself or have others
eorrect them."
ln the past, steel erectors and insulators were exempt on buildings
of 25 feet or less. The revised rule requires full fall protection greater
than 15 feet in height. The consequence is that most buildings
are no longer exempt from fall protection compliance. Workers
are required to tie off or use alternative means of fall protection,
resulting in a significant loss of productivity. ïhe patented MBI
Safety Liner SystemrM solves this prohlem and dramatically
increases productivity by providing passive fall protection.
The MBI Safety Liner SystemrM offers free OSHA Compliant
through fall protection for new pre-engineered metal buildings.
Perimeter protection within six feet of any edge is required
using safety harness. Thermal Design has tested this system as
instructed by OSHA and the system has passed this stringent test
earning lhe OSHA letter of compliance.
The complete MBI Safety Liner SystemrM including typical
insulation can be installed for approximately 25 cents per sq. ft.
labor costs. Go to www.thermaldesign.conl to review the third
party time study.

Performance
Energy Code Gompliant
Ihe MBI Safety Liner SystemrM easily surpasses the most stringent local,
state and government code requiremenis by providing both low U-Factors and
low emissivity values, stopping over 90% of all three types of heat transfer.
Thermal Design has commissioned numerous hot box tests which were done
in accordance with ASTM C-l363, "Standard Test Method ior the Thermal
Performance of Building Assemblies by Means of a Hol Box ApparatusJ'
Hot box tests, studies, and reports that pertain to the true effectiveness of
"traditional" metal building insulation and the MBI Safety Liner SystemrM are
available upon request. Contact Thermal Design at 800-255-0776 or
www.thermaldesign.com for test and technical information.
Screw Down Roofs
Screw down roofs can be approximalely $0.50-$0.75 less
expensive than a standing seam roof just considering
the material cost. Most roof leak complaints are actually
condensation problems. These savings would be more wisely
invested in the high quality MBI Safety Liner SystemrM with
it's sealed vapor retarder isolating the purlins.
The verified performance of the MBI Safety Liner SystemrM
installed in a screw down roof exceeds all "traditional over-
the-purlin" metal building insulation assemblies currently
listed in ASHRAË S0"'1 , IECC and COMcheckrM"

MBI Safety Liner SystemrM vs.Traditional Methods
With today's high energy costs and the potential for continued increases,
owners, designers, builders and the government are all focusing their
attention on more energy efficient buildings. irnprovìng the building envelope
design and maximizing your inslalled insulalion petlormance will relurn more
value to the owner than any other building malerial going inlo the ptoject. The
MBI Safety Liner SystemrM is designed to solve the defects of "traditional"
insulating methods. Properly placing and sealing the liner system to create
the full required insulation space virtually eliminates insulation compression
and assures the ultimate performance.
Third party hot box tests eonfirm a U-Factor
as low ãs U-0.0203 ean be ashieved with
the fvlBl Safety N-iner SystenrrM i¡'rstalled in a
screw eiown roof.
Commercial Building Tax Deduction
The MBI Safety Liner SystemrM can help owners or designers
claim a tax deduction of up lo $1.80 per square fool for
upgrading the envelope, HVAC and lighting that result in 50%
savings over the ASHRAE 90.1-2001 Standard.
lP[o'
