An isolator system for preventing the conduction of thermal energy between the metal components of a wall assembly comprising isolator plates adapted to be placed between the metal components of a wall assembly and made of an insulating material. The isolator plates include at least one opening for receiving a fastener, said opening has an annular shoulder adapted to extend into an opening for receiving said fastener in a metal component of a wall assembly. Also disclosed herein is a thermal isolation washer and a girt for use with polymer panel construction.

1. A wall assembly, comprising: a support structure comprising a plurality of metal studs;one or more elongate girts having at least one side with a substantially planar elongate girt surface;one or more insulating foam panels positioned between at least one said girt and at least one said metal stud, at least one of said insulating foam panels of said one or more insulating foam panels having a substantially planar outer panel surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a left side edge and a right side edge;said substantially planar girt surface positioned against said substantially planar outer panel surface and spaced apart from said left and right side edges of the insulating foam panel; and,at least one fastener extending through at least one opening in at least one said girt, said fastener extending through said panels and having a terminal end attached to one said metal stud; a thermal isolator operably secured between the fastener and the girt, and wherein: the fastener has a head portion and a shaft portion with the shaft portion extending through the at least one said opening in said girt, the shaft portion having a cross-sectional width; the at least one said opening in said girt is larger than the cross-sectional width of the shaft portion to define a space therebetween; said thermal isolator occupies the space between the shaft portion and the girt within the at least one said opening, thereby preventing the shaft portion from contacting the girt; and, wherein said substantially planar girt surface is positioned directly against said substantially planar outer panel surface without the thermal isolator extending therebetween. 2. The wall assembly of claim 1 further comprising an isolating washer mounted on said fastener, said isolating washer configured and located to prevent contact between said fastener and said girt. 3. The wall assembly of claim 1, wherein the one or more insulating foam panels are substantially incompressible. 4. The wall assembly of claim 1, wherein the one or more insulating foam panels are not compressed by said at least one fastener when said at least one fastener is operably secured to the metal stud. 5. The wall assembly of claim 2, wherein the isolating washer is made from heat transfer resistant material. 6. The wall assembly of claim 5, wherein the heat transfer resistant material is selected from the group consisting of ceramic and polymer. 7. The wall assembly of claim 6, wherein the polymer is selected from the group consisting of nylon, polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, and polyoxymethylene. 8. The wall assembly of claim 5, wherein the heat transfer resistant material is selected from the group consisting of highly crystalline thermoplastic, highly cross-linked thermoplastic and thermoset materials. 9. The wall assembly of claim 2, wherein said isolating washer reduces thermal conductivity between said fastener and said girt. 10. A wall assembly, comprising: a support structure comprising a plurality of spaced-apart and substantially parallelly aligned studs;a first girt having at least one side with a substantially planar elongate girt surface;one or more panels positioned between at least one said girt and at least one said metal stud, at least one of said panel of said one or more panels having a substantially planar outer panel surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a left side edge and a right side edge;said substantially planar girt surface operably engaging said substantially planar outer panel surface at a location spaced apart from said left and right side edges of the panel;at least one fastener extending through at least one opening-in the first girt, said fastener extending through said panels and having a terminal end attached to one said stud;a first thermal isolator operably secured between said fastener and said girt thereby preventing the fastener from directly contacting the girt, and,the first thermal isolator spaced apart from the substantially planar girt surface's operable engagement of the substantially planar outer panel surface. 11. The wall assembly of claim 10, wherein the fastener has a head portion and a shaft portion with the shaft portion extending through the at least one said opening in said first girt, the shaft portion having a cross-sectional width;the at least one said opening in said girt is larger than the cross-sectional width of the shaft portion to define a space therebetween; and,said first thermal isolator occupies the space between the shaft portion and the girt within the at least one said opening, thereby preventing the shaft portion from contacting the girt. 12. The wall assembly of claim 10, wherein the first thermal isolator is made from heat transfer resistant material. 13. The wall assembly of claim 10, wherein the heat transfer resistant material is selected from the group consisting of ceramic and polymer. 14. The wall assembly of claim 13, wherein the polymer is selected from the group consisting of nylon, polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, and polyoxymethylene. 15. The wall assembly of claim 10, further including a second thermal isolator operably securable to the first girt surface such that it is compressed against the substantially planar outer panel surface of the panel when the fastener is operably secured to the stud. 16. The wall assembly of claim 15, further including a second girt operably secured to the first girt and a second thermal isolator extending between said first girt and said second girt.
