Aerobarrier: The Key to Improving Building Envelope's Energy Efficiency

Results: After the Aerobarrier process, air leakage is reduced by up to 90%, resulting in improved energy efficiency and reduced energy costs. Additionally, the building envelope becomes airtight, which improves indoor air quality and reduces the risk of drafts.

Initial building testing: A blower door test is conducted to identify air leaks in the building envelope. This test helps to determine the building's baseline air leakage rate.

Step 1

Step 2

Preparation: Before the sealing process begins, all windows, doors, and any other openings are covered with plastic to protect them from the sealant. All ventilation systems and equipment that draw air from the outside are also turned off to prevent the sealant from entering them.

Sealing process: A sealant is pumped into the building through a series of small holes drilled into the drywall. The sealant is then atomized into tiny droplets that float through the air and eventually settle on any surfaces that are exposed to air leakage. The sealant is attracted to the air leakage areas and accumulates to seal them.

Step 4

Sealing verification: Throughout the sealing process, the building's air pressure is monitored to ensure that the sealant is being applied uniformly. Once the process is complete, another blower door test is conducted to determine the new air leakage rate. This test helps to verify the effectiveness of the seal.

Step 5

The process is monitored with the building's air pressure to ensure that the sealant is being applied uniformly. After the Aerobarrier process is complete, air leakage is reduced by up to 90%, resulting in improved energy efficiency, reduced energy costs, and enhanced indoor air quality. Overall, Aerobarrier is an effective solution for improving the energy efficiency of buildings while maintaining healthy indoor air quality.
