Cref and Aeroseal Partner to Improve Health Care Facilities

MIAMISBURG, Ohio — Demand for sustainable and efficient commercial buildings across business sectors has grown exponentially in recent years as organizations realize the vast benefits they can provide. In response to these demands, CREF, a global corporate real estate and facilities management leader, and Aeroseal, LLC., a provider of innovative air sealing and HVAC optimization solutions, have entered into a strategic partnership agreement.

The agreement will span various sectors, including health care, education, and general commercial buildings— areas of expertise for both organizations—to cut energy costs and improve sustainability in facilities nationwide.

“We’re proud to partner with Aeroseal in improving indoor air quality while lowering the costs of energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions—priorities we seek to achieve for all our clients in every building we work on,” said CREF Client Executive Josh Patterson. “Patients and their families will immediately feel and see the difference in their hospital experience, and that’s the kind of meaningful problem-solving that CREF brings to every project.”

Starting with work in CREF-managed healthcare facilities, this collaboration aims to enhance the operational efficiency and indoor air quality of hospitals and healthcare facilities across CREF’s portfolio. Healthcare facilities face unique challenges, particularly concerning indoor air quality and energy efficiency. CREF and Aeroseal aim to address these needs to make healthcare facilities safer, more comfortable, and cost-effective.

Aeroseal’s Series A funding was led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and in 2024, they were named Company of the Year by Cleantech Group for their pioneering work in sustainable innovation.

“The combination of Aeroseal’s ventilation expertise and CREF’s knowledge of working in acute care facilities makes for simple, low-risk projects that bring immediate benefit to health facilities. Health care is a complex landscape,” said Guy Colglazier, vice president and general manager of Aeroseal’s commercial division. “We are pleased our partnership brings a quick yet meaningful win for CREF’s clients.”
