Energy Audits, Blower Door Testing, HERS Energy Ratings for Ipswich Buildings
The best way to go about improving the energy efficiency of any building is by first effectively auditing. We provide HERS Energy rating services for buildings in Massachusetts. These ratings provide a clear numerical rating for the building that compares it to a control property. This helps homeowners, businesses, contractors, and other parties have a clear understanding of how energy efficient a property actually is. More importantly, it gives us a clear roadmap for what needs to be done to improve the score.
HERS Energy Ratings include blower door testing. Blower door tests work by creating a pressure differential on either side of the door. The more energy efficient a building is, the longer it will be able to maintain the differential. A room with air leaks will normalize in pressure much more quickly than a room that is properly sealed. HERS Energy Ratings include a variety of tests and inspections that all culminate together in both a clear-to-understand score and a plan of action that you can use to correct the issues leading to the largest inefficiencies.
Aeroseal Services & Air Barrier Sealing in Ipswich, Massachusetts
Once we've identified potential issues with a building's energy efficiency, we recommend steps that will help shore up that building. We often recommend air barrier sealing using Aeroseal. Aeroseal is an aerosol-based technology that involves a water-based polymer mist. This mist is sprayed, and the sealant fills holes, cracks, and air leaks within a building.
As Aeroseal contractors, we can provide this air barrier sealant service in one of two ways. For homes or businesses that use ductwork, Aeroseal can be a great way to seal up cracks or other air leaks that naturally form around bends and corners. For buildings that do not have ductwork, we recommend Aeroseal Envelope. This service works by combining the blower door technology with Aeroseal. Simply put, a room is pressurized, and as air escapes, it carries the sealant with it. The sealant then plugs the air leaks naturally until the room is more energy efficient.
Blown-In Insulation Contractors in Ipswich, Massachusetts
Blown-in insulation is another effective solution for improving the energy efficiency of a building. When most homeowners imagine insulation, they might think about batt insulation. Batt insulation comes in panels that are placed next to one another. This has an inherent issue. Rooms with odd geometry, like attics, are difficult to properly insulate using batt insulation. Likewise, there are often gaps between individual pieces of batt insulation.
Blown-in insulation solves these problems. Unlike batt insulation that is installed in multiple large pieces, blown-in insulation is sprayed into the building. We provide rockwool, fiberglass, and cellulose insulation. These materials help shore up a building and prevent heat loss during the winter while also keeping cool air inside during the summer.
