Commercial Aeroseal Applications

Are you looking for ways to reduce your building’s energy costs, improve indoor air quality (IAQ), fix your venting issues and extend equipment life? Get a good start by taking a closer look at your ductwork. According to the US Department of Energy, A Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study found that the leakage rates of commercial buildings exceed the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) recommended classes by an average of 20 percent.

 

  • Building problems due to leaky duct work

    • Inadequate air flow to some zones

    • Problems Identified by Test and Balance Report

    • High Utility Bills

    • Increased Cooling or Heating Capacity Needs

    • Poor or Inconsistent Exhaust from Hotel Rooms/Apartments

    • Inadequate Moisture Management

 

But there’s a simple solution to this costly problem. You can reduce your energy and equipment repair costs resulting from compromised ductwork with the most advanced duct sealing in the industry - Aeroseal Certified Duct Diagnostics and Sealing.

 

 

LEED rated apartments in White Plains, NY.

Initial duct leakage test revealed an unacceptable level of leakage for LEED rating after installer used mastic, the traditional duct sealing material. With no other feasible way to solve the problem, ECS was contracted to seal the ductwork from the inside with Aeroseal in the 48 units. After Aeroseal, each duct system easily passed the leakage test and far surpassed the duct tightness standard for LEED rated construction.

The Aeroseal Process has been successfully implemented in virtually every building type from homes to high rises and even aircraft carriers. Aeroseal solves issues in ductwork associated with heating & cooling systems as well as exhaust ventilation.

 

Existing buildings can benefit through increased HVAC efficiency as well as indoor comfort and air quality. In new construction, Aeroseal eliminates the need for manual duct sealing methods and takes away the possibility of not meeting energy code duct tightness standards because every air leak is sealed from the get go. This has been a common issue in LEED rated construction projects.

 

We can work in conjunction with mechanical installers to seal the ductwork at time of installation. Many companies have found it to be far easier and more labor efficient to use an Aeroseal installer to seal duct systems than using traditional tape or mastic methods. Aeroseal is the gold standard for efficient duct installations.

A Sound Financial Decision

 

Aeroseal is the most effective, affordable, and viable method of sealing duct leaks. Just like anywhere else, ducts in commercial buildings leak. Leaking ducts cost you money via

 

  • Increased Energy Consumption – With fan power representing 40-50% of HVAC energy usage, leakage costs can be significant due to increased in fan speed to compensate for leakage; even 15% leakage can lead to an increase in system fan power of 40%

 

  • Thermal Loss – When supply air escapes, variations in temperature between rooms and floors occur affecting comfort levels in this space

 

  • Equipment Overload – Your system will run longer than specified to compensate for pressure loss and temperature accuracy; this could lead to increased maintenance costs and premature component replacement

 

  • Code Issues – Leakage could lead to ventilation and safety code issues relating to exhaust, along with excessive fan power use

 

  • Airflow safety – For hospitals, laboratories and manufacturing facilities, the unexpected spread of contaminant and biohazards through back drafting could pose a liability

 

A computerized duct system inspection performed by Aeroseal will illustrate not only the building leakage percentage, but also the impact that sealing the leaks can have on your company’s bottom line. Using local utility rates, estimated system operating hours, and other inputs supplied by your operations personnel, our software closely calculates all the financial parameters of the project including:

 

  • Simple payback

  • Benefit-to-cost ration and ROI
