The proof is in the results
Our innovative technology has earned many awards and been recognized by many large builders and environmental agencies for its drastic improvement to homes. The science speaks for itself and the results are unprecedented. Don’t believe us? Just read what others are saying about their real-world results.
Case Study
Near Net Zero
Building: Residential Home
Location: Arizona
Contractor: Mandalay Homes
Goal: Scale carbon neutral (or zero energy) homes and offer them as a standard feature
Before ACH: >1.4
After ACH: 0.6
Results: Can now achieve net zero with only 8 solar panels on a typical 2,000 sq ft home compared to 60 solar panels required on a code built home; cost savings of $50k.
Case Study
High Performance Homes
Building: Residential Home
Location: Seattle, WA
Contractor: Dwell Development
Goal: Find a product that can be used in both new and existing homes to help achieve an ongoing commitment to building the most high performance homes.
ACH with AeroBarrier: 0.22 ACH50
Results: Achieved a 45 HERS index pre-solar (30% better than code). Reaching .22 ACH is now easy and affordable.
Case Study
Multi-Family Passive House
Building: 6-Story Apartment
Location: New York
Architect: Chris Benedict
Goal: Meet Passive House levels after an initial failed test, and after plumbing, electrical, and sheetrock installation had been installed rendering manual sealing impractical.
Results: Using AeroBarrier, 34 units were sealed to passive house levels of 0.6ACH50 in just 8 days.
Case Study
Path to Net Zero
Building: Residential Homes
Location: Washington
Architect: New Tradition Homes
Goal: Find a new construction strategy that can be standard on each build while remaining market competitive (affordable).
Results: Decreased ACH from 2.6 to 0.6 within 90 minutes. This reduction in energy demand means very little solar is required to reach zero energy.
