Leaky Homes Are Inefficient, Uncomfortable, & Unhealthy
Why Does That Matter?
- Air Leakage is typically the largest driver of energy use in the home, comprising 30%-70% of energy wasted on heating and cooling.
- Air Leakage is usually the biggest contributing factor for drafts, hot/cold spots, and other comfort issues in the home.
- Air Leakage is often the largest contributor to moisture problems, especially mold and mildew.
Air Sealing is Vital to an Efficient, Durable, & Healthy Home
- Air Sealing is arguably more important than most other energy-efficiency measures.
- Leaky homes also require larger HVAC systems that run more frequently to keep up with temperature changes as outside air leaks into the house.
- Moisture is transferred primarily by air currents, accounting for up to 98% of all water vapor movement in buildings. This makes air sealing essential.
- Leaky houses also allow dust, allergens, pollutants and other airborne particulates to enter the home, leading to poor indoor air quality.
- Reducing air leakage with AeroBarrier is the most cost-effective way to cut heating and cooling costs, improve durability, increase overall comfort, and create a healthier indoor environment.
