** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete if not required.

B. Acceptable roof insulation system shall be the Energy Saver FP System by Silvercote Lamination LLC with an R value of _____.

1. The labeled R value on the label shall be the sum of the R values equal to an R value of ____.

2. System shall consist of a white support fabric, white painted steel banding, fiberglass blanket insulation, adhesive and accessories. The fabric shall be fastened to the inside of the purlins and girts in a metal building and is supported by the banding. The insulation is positioned between the fabric and the roof or wall panels.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** The Energy Saver FP™ System must be installed by a Silvercote certified installing contractor in order to provide leading-edge fall protection. This is a free certification program which can be performed online. If the installing contractor is not certified, the Energy Saver is still a fabric liner system and will provide the same thermal performance, but is not an OSHA compliant fall protection system. Energy Saver FP is fall protection at the leading edge only and is only one component of a total fall protection plan for the job. Perimeter fall protection is still required. Energy Saver FP should not be relied upon for fall protection within 6 feet (1829 mm) of any roof edge or any common rafter where the system has not been completely installed in both bays. Other means of fall protection must always be used in those areas. Delete if not required.

a. The system shall provide OSHA-compliant leading edge fall protection. The combination of the banding, fabric, screws, and banding clips shall contribute the designed strength characteristics necessary to pass the OSHA requirements for leading edge fall prevention (29 CFR 1926.754 (e)(3)(i)). Energy Saver FP is fall protection at the leading edge only and is only one component of a total fall protection plan for the job. Perimeter fall protection is still required. Energy Saver FP should not be relied upon for fall protection within 6 feet (1829 mm) of any roof edge or any common rafter where the system has not been completely installed in both bays. Other means of fall protection must be used in those areas. To meet OSHA guidelines an insulation support and fall prevention system shall restrain and support 400 pounds dropped from at least 42 inches (1067 mm) above the system.

3. Insulation:

a. Insulation shall be UL Greenguard Certified for low VOC emissions.

b. The fiberglass shall have an FHC 25/50 flame spread/smoke developed rating per ASTM E-84.

c. At least one layer of the roof insulation shall be installed parallel to the purlins resting on the fabric and one layer shall be perpendicular to and above the purlins and beneath the roof panels. If a third layer is required based on the total system thickness, it shall also be installed parallel to the purlins. An optional 1" Thermal Block shall be installed above the top layer of insulation. Any layers running parallel to the purlins are to be fabricated at a width that will fill each purlin space.
