Energy Miser® Insulated Ceiling System
Our Premier System for Superior Efficiency. |
| With the Energy Miser® System, the
insulation is dropped so that all the structural framing (main beams),is covered. This
assures the insulation will retain it's full R-value, unlike an over-the-purlin system
that loses it's R-value when the insulation is compressed between the roof panels and the
purlins. The end result is a very neat, finished appearance that is virtually maintenance
free. This system offers ventilation options that eliminate the possibility of
condensation. |
 ASTM C-236 Guarded Hot Box Tested
Insulation Suspended At Any Height
Lower Heating & Cooling Costs
Tough, Durable Facing Fabrics
Can Eliminate Painting Of Exposed Steel |
Exceptionally High R-Values
Controls Condensation
Highly Reflective
Exposed Ceiling Applications
Aesthetically Pleasing |
|
| Tube System® Insulation |
| When Ventilation Is Not Necessary. |
| The Tube System® Insulation is
installed directly under the existing purlins. This provides all the benefits of added
insulation while creating an attractive finished ceiling. |
Installed Beneath the Existing Purlins
Reflective Surface Improves Lighting
Helps Reduce Utility Costs |
Easy to Install
Durable Faced Insulation
High R-Values |
|
| U-values
listed above were obtained by ASTM C236 guarded hot box testing; typical industry test
procedures and configurations were used. These tested U-values may exceed calculated
U-values obtained by adding the reciprocals of listed R-values. |
Energy Miser® Insulated Ceiling System
Patent #'s: 5,564,250 and 5,357,722 |
| Common Features Of Both Systems |
| The Energy Miser® lnsulated Ceiling System
and The Tube System® Insulation are both installed so all purlins are completely
insulated, thereby creating an integral vapor barrier across the roof and walls. A
large-scale section of the system, including building structure and roof, was exposed 3
weeks to inside conditions of 50% relative humidity at 7OF and outside temperatures of -5F
to -18F. No visible moisture was noted in the insulation, or on structural components of
the test assembly. When designing the Energy Miser® Insulated Ceiling System or The Tube
System® Insulation for your metal building, determine design relative humidity as a
function of maximum interior temperature and lowest outside temperature. The Energy Miser® Insulated Ceiling System and Tube System® Insulation are
supplied with necessary attachment hardware. The roof system includes white enameled (or
galvanized for high moisture applications) roller tubes for faced insulation. Rollers are
secured to purlins by means of clips: "Z" clips for Z-purlins, "C"
clips for C-purlins, B-clips for flat flanged bar joists. The insulation is pulled over
the rollers, which are clipped to every other purlin (not to exceed 15'o.c.). Termination
bar and self drilling screws secure insulation at eaves, and at ridge purlins where
necessary. If thermal spacer blocks of 1" extruded polystyrene are needed at
compression points in the System, they are contractor-supplied. Nylon bushings in the ends
of the tubes ensure they cannot puncture the insulation system. |
