Air Sealing

Seal tight and insulate right.

Sealing the building envelope is comparable to closing a window before running the a/c. Sealing the cracks and gaps in your home’s foundation, walls, ceiling, windows, and doors will drastically reduce the exchange between inside and outside air and reduce the energy needed to keep you comfortable.

Air sealing is one of the most significant energy efficiency improvements you can make to your home. When building a new home or retrofitting an existing home, consider air sealing the building envelope. This includes the foundation, walls, ceiling, windows, and doors. Air Sealing controls the air leakage between the interior conditioned space and exterior unconditioned space of the structure and improves the effectiveness of the building insulation.

Adequately sealing the building envelope improves comfort, indoor air quality, minimizes temperature differences between rooms, and reduces potential moisture – all of which add to the value of your home.
