The Patrick V. McNamara Federal Building is a Class A skyscraper located in downtown Detroit. It serves as home to a variety of government agencies, including the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Army Corps of Engineers, Defense Contract Management Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Internal Revenue Service.

As part of the GSA initiative to make its government buildings more green, Thermolite installed 2,440 RetroWAL™ Silver Series with between glass blinds to reduce air infiltration and HVAC usage.
