The Department of Energy estimates that 40% of energy usage in buildings is due to uncontrolled air leakage.
Existing schools throughout the country are in dire need of building envelope and HVAC improvements, but ripping the buildings apart simply isn’t feasible due to budget constraints and compressed timelines.
AeroBarrier and Aeroseal Duct is an underutilized solution in these existing commercial buildings. Our results speak for themselves.
One wing of the school had a baseline air leakage of 17 Air Changes per Hour, forcing the school system to turn off their ventilation system during the winter. Through 4 AeroBarrier Applications, we reduced the air leakage by 84%.
In one week.
Energy Efficient Investments is leading the way in energy related retrofits in schools and municipal buildings throughout New England. We applaud them for taking on these extremely complex projects, and look forward to future retrofits with their team!
