HERS Energy Assessments & Blower Door Testing in Billerica, Massachusetts
Our team can help with HERS energy ratings. The HERS system compares a property to a standardized property and gives you an official score of how your building compares. Ideally, a lower number means your building is more efficient than the standard home. What is very beneficial about this scoring system is that it provides clear reasoning for why a building is scored positively or poorly, making it easier to improve your score, increase resale value, or meet the standards for various rebate programs.
​
Part of energy assessments includes blower door testing. A blower door test is a great way to understand how efficient a room is. Simply put, a blower door is installed and creates an air pressure differential on either side of the door. Naturally, air pressure differences balance out if possible. If a room is correctly insulated and does not have air leaks, it will maintain the pressure differential for a longer period of time. This is the core science behind blower door testing. When we do this testing, we can ensure that new construction is up to code and that buildings are energy efficient.
Air Barrier Sealing Services For Buildings in Billerica, MA
Our team assists with air barrier sealing services from Aeroseal. These services can help address problems discovered during a HERS energy rating and/or blower door. In fact, the Aeroseal Building Envelope service works by creating a pressurized environment and then dispensing the Aeroseal material into the air. As the sealant is carried toward gaps and air leaks, it naturally gathers and plugs them. This process is done until the room is able to maintain pressure. Aeroseal can also be used for buildings with ductwork and help seal air leaks that form around ductwork joints.
Blown-In Insulation Services For Billerica, Massachusetts Properties
Blown-in insulation is a great way to improve the energy efficiency of your home or other property. Batt insulation is effective but inherently leaves gaps, and is especially difficult to use for rooms that have odd geometry, like attics. Blown-in insulation can be used on its own or alongside existing batt insulation in order to improve the energy efficiency of a building. We provide cellulose, rockwool, and fiberglass blown-in insulation for buildings in the Billerica area. For more information, please give our team a call.
