Thermafiber Releases New BIM Objects

WABASH, Ind., Dec. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Thermafiber, Inc. and ARCAT have
developed AutoDesk Revit BIM objects for Thermafiber’s mineral wool insulation
products. These objects are available for free download on the ARCAT site and
also accessible on Thermafiber’s website.

“BIM technology and acceptance has grown dramatically over the last couple of
years,” says Austin Hess, Thermafiber’s Director of Business Development.
“Adding Thermafiber BIM objects to ARCAT supports our Thermafiber Insolutions.
We want to provide the architectural community with the tools and solutions that
make our products easier to specify and understand. The BIM objects will
complement the free technical services and custom AutoCAD designs that we
currently offer.”

In addition to creating accurate graphics, Thermafiber and ARCAT have added
appropriate product data to each object, saving architects and engineers a
significant amount of time doing data entry and product research. All of the BIM
objects, graphics and content, are uniform and modifiable for ease of use. In
addition to product information, links to Thermafiber’s CSI 3-Part specs are
embedded in the objects.

Thermafiber mineral wool insulation offers the highest available recycled
content (up to 90%) of any commercial insulation, in addition to contributing to
33 LEED credits across four categories. Thermafiber insulation helps buildings
conserve energy, control noise, improve indoor environmental quality, improve
life safety and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
