Air sealing qualifies for a 30% federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act, with a yearly limit of $1,200, helping reduce upfront costs.
Many states offer additional rebates for air sealing, especially for multifamily housing and low-income projects, covering both new and existing buildings.
Utility companies often provide rebates for air sealing, especially when paired with insulation or HVAC upgrades. Multifamily properties can receive up to $1 per square foot for air sealing.
We start with a detailed consultation to understand the building’s energy efficiency challenges. Our experts will assess the current condition of the building and outline an air sealing strategy tailored to your multifamily property.
Using blower door tests and infrared cameras, we pinpoint specific areas where air leakage occurs. This data helps prioritize the most critical spots for air sealing to maximize energy savings.
Before the advanced sealing process, we pre-seal larger gaps using conventional methods like caulking and weatherstripping. We also prepare the work area to ensure efficient sealing with minimal disruption.
We apply aerosol-based sealants that penetrate deep into walls, floors, and ceilings to seal hidden leaks. This method can reduce air leakage by up to 94%, significantly improving the building’s envelope tightness.
A second blower door test is conducted to measure the effectiveness of the sealing, ensuring that air leakage has been reduced to meet or exceed building code standards.
Depending on the audit results, we may recommend further insulation or moisture control to enhance energy savings and protect the building’s infrastructure.
After the project, we continue to monitor the building’s performance to ensure energy savings are sustained. We also offer maintenance support for long-term efficiency.
Air sealing minimizes drafts and prevents energy loss, leading to reduced heating and cooling costs
Sealing gaps and cracks ensures consistent indoor temperatures, improving comfort for residents.
These systems contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, supporting your property's sustainability goals.
Proper air sealing decreases strain on HVAC systems, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance expenses.
Energy-efficient multifamily properties are more attractive to buyers and tenants, potentially increasing market value.
Sealing gaps can help block out dust, pollutants, and allergens, improving the indoor air quality for residents.
