"It is an honor for Thermafiber to be chosen as a top-10 green building
product for 2009," says Steve Edris, Thermafiber's President and CEO. "Our
products offer up to 90% recycled content -- the highest of any commercial
insulation. In addition, our insulation helps buildings conserve energy,
control noise, improve indoor air quality, improve life safety and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. We appreciate BuildingGreen's recognition of the
sustainable attributes our products provide."

As in previous years, BuildingGreen selected its top-10 products primarily
from new additions to the company's GreenSpec Product Directory, which
includes thousands of products.

"Our selections of the top-10 green building products represent a wide range
of product types in many application areas," noted BuildingGreen founder and
Executive Editor Alex Wilson. "Many of the top-10 products this year have
multiple environmental attributes."

The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED® (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) Rating System continues to drive the development of
green products. The LEED system awards points for the use of certain product
types or for energy/water savings. "Designers of LEED buildings are looking
for green products, and manufacturers are responding," Wilson said.
Thermafiber's commercial mineral wool products contribute up to 33 LEED
credits across four categories.
