TruProtect Can Contribute to LEED® Certification

United States Green Building Council developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ which is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.

To earn certification, a building project must meet certain prerequisites and performance benchmarks ("credits") within each category. Projects are awarded Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum certification depending on the number of credits they achieve. This comprehensive approach is the reason LEED-certified buildings have reduced operating costs, provided for healthier and more productive occupants, and helped conserve our natural resources.

TruProtect is a Patented Product with multiple uses:

Protection for: EMI/RFI Interference; hail damage; insulation; radiant barrier; fire retardant; noise reduction; and mold, mildew, and fungus repellant. It is strong, durable, and resilient.

RF Shielding Panel System

Made in convenient 4' x 8' x ½” panels, weighing only 17 lbs.

Made in convenient 4' x 8' x 1” panels, weighing only 34 lbs.

Applies directly to outer wall using construction adhesive

9 mils and three layers of Aluminum foil in the ½” thick panels

16 mils and three layers of Aluminum foil in the 1” thick panels

RF shield panels are joined together using 3" wide, 5 mil Aluminum tape with conductive adhesive

Saves time and labor over conventional shielding and even foil

Insulation

½” panel has an R-value of 6 by itself

1” panel has an R-value of 12 by itself

Helps reduce the heat level in walls & attics enabling heating and cooling units to work less; savings in heating and cooling expenses range from 40-50%

Has 4 times the R-factor of fiberglass insulation

When used in conjunction with fiberglass insulation, TruProtect increases the fiberglass R-factor by about 98 % as shown in ASTM C 1363-97 and ASTM E903 tests

Multiplies the R-factor of existing insulation. When used with R-19 fiberglass, TruProtect accentuated the true R-factor to an R-49.5, and an R-25 is raised to an R-61.38

Stops heat-to-cold transfer by 97.3%

Reflects 98% of applied heat as shown in ASTM E903

One architect’s description of TruProtect was, “It’s a radiant barrier on steroids.”

Fire Retardant

Fire resistant; holds an ASTM E84-04 Class A fire and smoke rating

Mold, Fungus, and Mildew Growth Proof

Tested by ASTM D-3273—94 standards, TruProtect was exposed to mold, fungus, and mildew causing agents for 30 days. The final score was a perfect 10 out of 10, indicating zero growth.

Noise Reduction

Natural sound barrier; highest possible STC of 19 (OITC of 15) for ½" material by itself.

STC of 51 (OITC of 35) using ½" material in a normally constructed 8.0" wall.

Reduces noise pollution

Earth Friendly

Composed of 65-75% recycled materials

Enables owner to use 40% less resources (electricity, natural gas, coal) to heat and cool.

Hail Damage Reduction

Protects roof from hail damage. UL 2218 Class 4 hail test shows 50% less surface damage and 100% less structural damage in comparison to a roof without TruProtect.

Installation

Made in convenient 4' x 8' x ½" sheets and 4' x 8' x 1" sheets

Weighs 17 pounds per ½" sheet and 34 pounds per 1" sheet

Costs less than fiberglass insulation

Easily installed with no environmental or worker problems

Can be made with adhesive backing so no fasteners are needed

Reflects 98% of the applied heat as shown in ASTM test

Has a 450 pound busting strength

They are also the same problem solving skills that led to the development of a new product for TruProtect. Many office buildings have dropped ceilings with tiles made of mineral fiber or fiberglass. These tiles are porous, collect dust, have minimal insulation and sound proofing, and make a complete mess when installing and replacing. Surely there had to be a better product. Enter TruProtect’s new ceiling tiles to solve these problems. Each tile is the original TruProtect with an added polypropylene cover that is remarkably durable and visually appealing. Without the hassle of remodeling, an office can now add the benefits of TruProtect. Heat and cold from the attic or plenum are stopped from
