AN AFFORDABLE SOLUTION FOR LEED PROJECTS AND ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDING MANDATES

Sustainability made simple Sustainability made affordable Nansulate® Coatings


Nansulate® coatings are a patented technology by Industrial Nanotech, Inc. that utilize a nanomaterial with an extremely low thermal conductivity. This material allows the coatings to effectively inhibit heat transfer in a thin layer.

Nansulate® offers an advancement to the traditional concept of thermal insulation, providing alternative solutions for sustainability and environmentally friendly energy efficiency.

A benefit of the translucent coatings is the increase to the thermal envelope of a building without reducing square footage or changing the look of the surface. Additional benefits are mold and moisture resistance, thus improving overall air quality.

Because Nansulate® does not rely on thickness as a function of its insulating ability, compression does not reduce its effectiveness. Nansulate® provides a health benefit by not harboring moisture, dust, mold, or dirt, which are factors that reduce traditional insulation’s effectiveness over time and decrease air quality.

Provide a custom solution with the newestenergy saving technology available

Patented technology that powers affordable sustainability.



According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, HVAC accounts for approximately 51% of the estimated energy consumption of U.S. Commercial Buildings.

And according to the Australian Government Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, heating & cooling account for 54% of Australian commercial building energy share.

No matter where in the world you are, insulating is paramount to reducing building energy consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions.

For years we been trained to think that you need thickness in order to insulate. However just as cell phones and computers have shrunk and yet become more powerful over the years, so has insulation.

Nansulate® is the newest form of insulation. It incorporates a

nanomaterial with very low thermal conductivity into a clear water-based acrylic latex to provide a thin film coating which can be painted onto a variety of substrates to insulate

effectively and consistently. Building envelope customers will typically report energy savings of 20%-40% on heating and cooling costs, depending upon application.

Nansulate® offers an effective solution for reduction of energy consumption in buildings of all ages and construction types.

Affordable Option for Energy Efficiency

ROI EXAMPLE:According to the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency, using 2003 EIA data, in the U.S., the average annual energy intensity for office buildings is 79.8 kBtu per square foot and the average cost is $1.65 per square foot.

$165,000 annual energy consumption for 100,000 SF building$72,600 used for heating/cooling (using 44% of total)$14,520/year energy savings with Nansulate® (using low 20% estimate)$48,500 Approximate cost of product to insulate walls/ceiling of 1-story building3.3 years payback (expected lifespan: 10+ years interior use, 5-10 years exterior)

THERMAL TESTING DATA

Results from Standard Test Method for Steady-State Thermal Performance of Building Assemblies - UNI EN ISO 8990:1999:Thermal transmission through the wall section coated with Nansulate® was reduced by 34.80%Thermal resistance (1/U), measured in m2*k*w1, of the 8cm cement wall section coated with Nansulate® was increased by 28.98%

Description: Two wall samples are tested according to test standards for a variety of thermal measurements including thermal transmission, thermal conductance and thermal resistance. Testing was done by the accredited laboratory Istituto di Richerche E Collaudi - a certifying body for the Italian Government.(See data on page 6.)

MOLD TESTING

EMSL Analytical, Inc., one of the nation's leading testing laboratories, compared mold growth on wooden surfaces coated with Nansulate® HomeProtect, Nansulate® Bee Protect, Nansulate® GP, Nansulate® LDX and Nansulate® Top Coat products to surfaces with no coating. All were exposed to spore-producing bacteria, including Pencillium funiculosum, Aspergillus niger, Aureobasidium pullulans, Chaetomium globosum, and Trichoderma virens. After four weeks, the Nansulate® coatings exhibited zero or minimal mold growths, whereas the uncoated surfaces showed extreme to 100 percent mold coverage. The testing was conducted by EMSL Analytical, Inc., an AIHA accredited laboratory.

Some nanotechnology products have come under scrutiny due to potential health issues posed by the use of nano-sized materials – particles smaller than one billionth of a meter. However, that is where Industrial Nanotech’s particle design approach differs. Instead of nano-sized particles, Nansulate® is made with larger micro-sized materials which use nanoscale internal architecture and surface chemistry to allow Nansulate® to have properties that are unique. The coatings are non-toxic, water-based, and low VOC (100 g/L).

HEATH & SAFETY

Nansulate® Coatings have undergone toxicology testing and have been found safe for use in homes, schools, food processing and other sensitive environments.

Testing example by university PhD student.







When the new state of the art international airport in Bangkok, Thailand was being built, sustainability was a huge part of the building plan.

The new Terminal Complex, in Nong Ngu Hao, Samut Prakarn Province, has a total floor area of 500,000m2 (5,381,955 SF), making it the largest airport in the world. Contractor H.R. Robertson supplied 11,530m2 (124,108 SF) of Robertson Wall Panels in fluorocarbon painted aluminum and steel, which were used as roof and

soffit claddings for the terminal building's aerobridges, including the double-decker aerobridges.

Nansulate® Translucent PT insulation coating was chosen as an innovative addition to the airport to reduce energy consumption and reduce condensation. It was coated onto all the Robertson wall panels to increase building energy efficiency and sustainability.

Nansulate® PT also offered a low VOC coating and resistance to mold growth for improved air quality.

This project was chosen in 2009 by the Journal of Architectural Coatings as a Top Green Global Project.

Sustainable Building Case Study

Suvarnabhumi International Airport Bangkok, Thailand







Industrial Nanotech’s Mexico Distributor, Omnigenus® Energy, was assisting a large manufacturing client with an issue they were having with heat transferring through a large sheet metal wall that divides the main mezzanine from an area that holds six industrial ovens.

The heat transfer was causing uncomfortable working conditions.

Nansulate® Translucent PT was applied at a 3-coat coverage to a 3x3 meter section of the wall to illustrate the insulation performance.

Even before the coating was fully cured measurements showed a reduction of wall surface temperature from 39.9C (103.8F) to 24.8C (76.6F).

A reduction of 15.1C /27.2F. With further reduction expected after the coating cures fully.

Thermal imaging photos were also taken and clearly illustrate the reduction of heat transfer provided by the Nansulate® insulation coating technology.

Further application is being completed on two side walls and the ceiling.

Located in the Main Street District of downtown Libertyville, IL, this sustainable design provides 13,800 square feet mixed use modern office and retail space with an historic context.

Bleck and Bleck Architects were tasked with using LEED guidelines to increase the energy efficiency of a

historical 1800's building, while also keeping the unique brick look of the building intact.

Nansulate® Energy Protect was applied to masonry walls to improve thermal resistance, reduce energy consumption, and provide UV and moisture resistance.

Excerpt from Masonry Edge Magazine:

"A challenge in reusing old masonry buildings is dealing with the energy envelope. Owners and designers love the interior appearance of the old, raw common brick walls. The typical wall is three solid wythes of brick thick, with no cavity for insulation to be injected. Infiltration can be addressed with various coatings, but until recently nothing could be done about thermal transmission.

Nanotechnology is a field that has shown tremendous promise in the area of materials science. The nanoparticles can be suspended in a low VOC medium and applied much like a paint."

Nansulate® provided an affordable way to increase energy efficiency while keeping the visual appeal of the historic building intact.
