GreenBuild Revisited
It’s been several weeks since the GreenBuild International Conference and Expo set up shop at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, but the buzz continues to spread throughout the industry. By all accounts GreenBuild has become the biggest gathering for engineers, architects, contractors and just about anyone else interested in sustainable building. And if you’re at all affiliated with the construction industry or home performance markets, that certainly includes you.
This year, Greenbuild hosted about 750 suppliers and top manufacturers as they shared the latest innovation in green technology with more than 23,000 attendees. For Aeroseal, For Aeroseal, the show marked a new chapter in the company’s catapulting success.
“For the first time in Aeroseal’s history, the overwhelming number of people visiting our booth actually came seeking us out,” said Aeroseal’s Bobby Seals. “For the past several years, we’ve been attending shows like this and spending most of our time explaining our technology to passerbys – but not this time. Instead, our booth was filled throughout the three-day event with engineers, specifiers and other building professionals that had already heard about aeroseal. This time they came with specific questions in mind – often about how aeroseal could be applied to existing projects on which they were working.”
Building professionals weren’t the only ones taking notice of the aeroseal technology during the show. Editors of US Building Review magazine, one of show’s key sponsors, found the potential energy-saving benefits of aeroseal so compelling, that they gave it their Editor’s Choice award. Aeroseal was featured on the cover of the magazine’s latest issue and was declared BEST OF SHOW by the publication.
“The potential impact that Aeroseal technology could have on energy savings is estimated by the D.O.E. to be in the billions of dollars annually,” said US Builders Review’s Editorial Director, Ian Nichols. “Of the hundreds of products and technologies represented at this year’s Greenbuild, we felt that none were more deserving of this award than Aeroseal.”
And that is a nice curtain closer on 2014 and a great introduction to the year ahead. We expect this coming year to be a particularly big one for Aeroseal as the technology grows from a one-off project saver to mainstream acceptance in the renovation and building construction side of things, and a top-of-mind energy saving solution for home owners.
