Effective Home Energy Conservation Strategies

Centerville, OH (PRWEB) December 19, 2012 -- An article in the latest issue of the ASHRAE Journal reports that duct sealing with a new aerosol-based technology called Aeroseal, could be the single most effective and cost effective measure for reducing energy usage in small office buildings. Other recent studies have found similar results for home energy savings.

The ASHRAE Journal article, “Energy Audits, Improvements In Small Office Buildings,” was written by Ian M. Shapiro, president of Taitem Engineering, a consulting firm specializing in green building. The piece reviews the unique energy-related characteristics of small office buildings, and the various strategies available to reduce energy consumption. It also includes a case study example of one small office building that had undergone a complete energy audit and subsequent energy-savings retrofit that included the use of Aeroseal to seal the ductwork. Post-retrofit analysis found that aeroseal duct sealing had the highest impact on reducing gas and electricity usage and was the single most cost effective measure taken as compared to the various other energy-saving implementations.

Centerville, Ohio (PRWEB) May 14, 2012 -- Aeroseal, a breakthrough technology used to seal air ducts and ventilation shafts, proved a plan saver for Ohio State University’s William Hall Complex Extension project. When tests indicated that the new building’s ventilation shafts contained unacceptable leakage, engineers faced the possibility of having to tear down many of the new walls and manually seal each of the leaks. The unexpected work would have had a significant impact on project costs and set the completion date back by half a year or more.

Luckily, someone on the engineering team had heard about a new air duct and exhaust shaft sealing technology called Aeroseal.

Using Aeroseal, workers were able to seal all nineteen shafts of the 6-story dormitory building in less than two weeks time, saving costs and allowing the construction schedule to remain on track.

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) March 20, 2012 -- Rite-Way Ventilating Co. of Tucson, AZ is offering a new air duct ventilation tool for their HVAC repair services. The air conditioning and heating contractor will now offer Aeroseal duct repair systems, one of the few HVAC repair contractors in the area to offer the service. The Aeroseal duct repair system is an innovative, environmentally friendly method of repairing leaks in airs ducts that can save energy and cost, without sacrificing quality and effectiveness.

Leakage and holes in HVAC ducts can cost the homeowner more than you think. Letting your vents fall into disrepair can cause conditioned air so seep through the cracks and waste the energy and cost necessary to produce it. The average older home leaks around 50% of its conditioned air, whereas new homes leak around 40%. These leaks can ultimately cost the home owner money, as 20% of the energy consumed for their entire house seeps out of patchable holes in their HVAC vents. This waste of resources led to the invention of a new system in air duct sealing and repair, Aeroseal.

Centervill, OH (PRWEB) December 07, 2011 -- A 23-story high rise apartment building in Camden, New Jersey has reduced its utility bill $37,000 a year by replacing dampers and sealing leaks in the building’s exhaust duct system with Aeroseal – a new duct sealing solution developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. By sealing the leaks, Aeroseal helped reduce by more than 217,000 kw/hours the amount of energy required by the building’s two exhaust fans. This results in an annual cost savings of about $34,000. An additional energy savings of an estimated $3,000 a year was accomplished through increased heating efficiencies resulting from the aeroseal duct sealing process.
