High Rise Saves Using Aeroseal Duct Sealing
February 20th, 2012 | 
Author: The initial weatherization audit of a 23-story, 308-unit high-rise in Camden, NJ showed that there were thousands of leaks throughout the exhaust system. As a result, the two large fans used to draw stale air out of each of the individual apartments consumed a lot of energy to the job. Preliminary testing revealed fairly large gaps throughout the building’s vertical exhaust ducts.
The Aeroseal duct sealing process fixed the problem and in doing so, significantly improved the efficiency of the building’s two exhaust fans. Aeroseal technology played a significant role in helping reduce energy consumption and ultimately meeting the requirements of the state’s weatherization assistance program. By effectively sealing the leaks with Aeroseal duct ealing and updating the system’s dampers, the fancs’ energy use was reduced by more than 217,000 kilowatts per hour. This saved more than $34,000 a year in electricity. The building owners also achieved an additional $3,000 in savings through more effective heating.
