Building Weatherization
Professional building weatherization includes targeted caulking, high quality sealants, weatherstripping, and vapor/thermal barriers around openings and penetrations - is the fastest, lowest cost way to stop energy losses, increase occupant comfort, and stop conditioned air losses at the source. Strategic air and moisture sealing reduces drafts, stabilizes indoor temperatures, cuts HVAC runtime, and prevents moisture-related damage that shortens asset life.
What we do
Targeted air sealing around windows, doors, penetrations, wall-to-roof, wall-to-foundation, and wall-to-fenestration junctions
Durable caulking, sealants, and portable spray foam solutions selected for material compatibility and long service life.
High-performance weatherstripping for doors and operable windows to restore fit and reduce leakage.
Vapor and thermal barrier installation utilizing spray polyurethane foam and fluid-applied air barriers to control moisture migration and thermal bridging.
Diagnostics and quality verification using thermography and air leakage‑ testing to quantify problems and confirm results.
Owner Benefits from Building Envelope Weatherization
Proven energy savings
sealing uncontrolled air leaks typically reduces heating and cooling bills by 10%–20%; savings can be higher in older or especially leaky buildings like barracks and hangars.
Low upfront cost, fast payback
weatherization is among the cost-effective Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) with some measures delivering return in months rather than years.
Risk reduction and longevity
blocking moisture pathways prevent rot, corrosion, and mold that drive costly repairs and downtime.
Essential maintenance
weatherization should be part of every building maintenance plan to protect occupant comfort and asset value.
According to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) - When needed maintenance and repairs are deferred to a future time, the problem becomes more costly, more severe, and shortens the life of the asset. In some cases, deferred maintenance and repairs (DMR) may place the health of employees or the ability of an agency to accomplish its mission at risk. In FY2022, federal civilian agencies collectively reported a DMR liability of $80 billion, an increase of 57% over five years.
According to U.S. Department of Energy - Retrofits of existing buildings are particularly crucial to envelope energy savings because nearly 60% of commercial buildings that exist today will still exist in 2050.
Key Advantages of Specifying Weatherization Improvements
| Energy Efficiency | Reduces uncontrolled air leakage and thermal losses, lowering HVAC loads and improving Energy Use Intensity (EUI). |
| Compliance & Standards | Supports alignment with IECC, ASHRAE 90.1, UFC 3-101-01, UFC 1-200-02, and federal energy mandates. |
| Envelope Performance | Enhances air barrier continuity, insulation coverage, and moisture control across assemblies. |
| HVAC Optimization | Enables smaller HVAC sizing and better heat pump performance by reducing envelope load. |
| Durability & Moisture Control | Limits condensation, mold risk, and envelope deterioration by controlling air and vapor flow. |
| Occupant Comfort & IAQ | Reduces drafts, stabilizes temperatures, and limits outdoor pollutant infiltration. |
| Lifecycle Value | Extends service life of HVAC systems, cladding, and finishes; lowers maintenance costs and total cost of ownership (TCO). |
| Funding & Incentives |
Improves envelope integrity against severe weather, moisture intrusion, and operational disruptions. |
| Funding & Incentive Access | Qualifies as an ECM under ESPC/UESC models and may be eligible for utility rebates. |
| Resilience & Risk Reduction | Improves envelope integrity during severe weather and reduces operational risk. |
