MAM 07N - Air Sealing Multifamily Buildings (In-field)

Monday, April 27, 2009 · 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Air sealing is a cost effective and practical measure to improve comfort and reduce energy consumption in existing mid- and high-rise multifamily buildings. Based upon experience from a number of projects carried out in Canada, and both the southern and northern U.S., it has been demonstrated that it is possible to reduce building infiltration by up to 30%. Find out where to seal, how the calculation methodology works, and what materials to use. Explore the motivations and marketing tools for penetrating this virtually untapped market.
