1. A system for sealing over fastener heads coupled to one or more building enclosure layers, the system comprising:
a release liner; and
a plurality of fastener patches distributed along the release liner, each fastener patch comprising at least a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer,
wherein the first layer comprises a conformable, air-tight, and water-tight material,
wherein the second layer comprises a pressure-sensitive and hydrophobic adhesive disposed between the first layer and the release liner,
wherein the third layer comprises a thermally insulating material selected from the group consisting of a microsphere coating, a foam matrix, and an adhesive matrix, the third layer having a thermal conductivity significantly lower than an underlying fastener, and
wherein the first layer is disposed between the third layer and the second layer.
