                      How Duct Sealing Strengthens Federal Building Resiliency

                       Challenges with Federal Buildings 

                      Federal buildings are critical to national security, public service, and disaster response. Yet, many of these essential facilities face an often-overlooked vulnerability—air leakage in ductwork. This weakens HVAC system performance, making buildings more susceptible to disruptions, reduced air quality, and increased maintenance demands. 

                      To be truly resilient, federal buildings must maintain operations during extreme weather, power fluctuations, and other unexpected challenges. However, leaky ducts undermine this stability by overworking HVAC systems, increasing the risk of equipment failure, and making it harder to sustain healthy indoor environments. 

                      Duct Sealing: A Critical Solution for Federal Building Resilience 

                      Aeroseal’s duct sealing technology plays a key role in strengthening federal building resiliency. By reducing duct leakage, Aeroseal enhances system reliability, stabilizes indoor conditions, and decreases dependency on excessive energy use. It has a proven track record of improving performance in commercial and federal facilities with minimal disruption. 

                      Unlike manual sealing methods that require applying mastic or tape to individual joints, Aeroseal pressurizes the duct system and distributes a non-toxic sealant. The sealant particles travel with the airflow and seal only the leaks—without coating the entire ductwork. This precision-based approach ensures a durable, long-lasting seal without requiring major renovations or downtime. 

                      Strengthening Compliance & Reliability 

                      A truly resilient building meets stringent performance standards while ensuring long-term durability. Aeroseal’s duct sealing process aligns with key federal and industry requirements, including: 

                      • ASHRAE Standard 152 – Optimizes HVAC system operation for reliability. 
                      • NFPA 90A – Enhances fire safety and structural integrity of HVAC systems. 
                      • LEED & GBI Certifications – Supports sustainability and climate adaptation goals. 
                      • ASTM & UL Compliance – Ensures long-term safety and performance. 

                      Key Benefits for Federal Resilience 

                      • Reduces Duct Leakage by Up to 97% – Strengthens HVAC reliability and prevents premature system failures. 
                      • Enhances Indoor Air Quality – Reduces airborne contaminants, crucial during emergencies and health crises. 
                      • Minimizes Maintenance Burden – Prevents excessive wear and tear on critical systems. 
                      • Improves Climate Adaptation – Helps buildings withstand temperature extremes and environmental shifts. 
                      • Sustains Performance – A 30-year lifespan ensures long-term efficiency and operational stability. 

                      Proven Impact on Federal Facilities 

                      Aeroseal has already helped strengthen the resilience of numerous federal buildings: 

                      • Naval Base Kitsap – Reduced duct leakage by 97%, improving HVAC reliability and eliminating mold risks. 
                      • Federal Bureau of Prisons – Achieved an 89% reduction in air leakage, lowering operational costs and ensuring stable indoor conditions. 
                      • Fort Drum Army Base – Cut duct leakage from 30% to under 5%, significantly improving HVAC resilience. 

                      Create a More Resilient Federal Facility 

                      Federal buildings must be prepared for evolving challenges, from climate shifts to energy reliability. Aeroseal helps fortify your facility by improving HVAC performance, reducing vulnerabilities, and ensuring long-term operational stability.
