Building Weatherization Upgrades

Air infiltration through cracks around windows and doors and gaps within construction can lead to both substantial energy loss, as well as a decrease in comfort to the occupants within the building. 

A detailed overview of the entire building is performed to evaluate and identify all areas with air leakage and infiltration. Energy consumption is reduced by sealing the thermal envelope of the building to minimize the flow of uncontrolled air through cracks, holes, and gaps. 

Improvements will include the installation of high-quality weather-stripping and door sweeps on the exterior doors of the building, as well as certain interior doors to provide isolation from conditioned air space.  

There are also pipe and truss penetrations that can be sealed with spray foam to prevent unwanted air infiltration.  In many cases, there is also an air gap running along the perimeter of the roof-to-wall intersection; this can also be sealed with spray foam.  

The improvements will reduce the overall amount of air that needs to be heated and conditioned, which will provide significant energy savings as well as improve air quality and comfort.

We also manufacture and install weatherization products for various types of exterior doors. Our products are applied as an all-weather compression seal to minimize the flow of uncontrolled air, helping reduce energy costs and acting as an additional barrier to rodents, insects, and other pests.
