Insulation and Air-Sealing

A better business climate starts with a well-insulated building. Increase comfort and energy savings with these simple tips:

• Make sure all exterior walls, ceilings, roofs, and wall cavities are adequately insulated.
• Common air leakage points to check and seal include:
• The areas around plumbing, electrical, and duct work in exterior walls.
• Any chases open to spaces like an attic.
• Gaps between interior and exterior walls and ceiling sheetrock.
• Any sheetrock areas, including between interior and exterior walls and where sheetrock is sealed to the subfloor.
• Openings around windows.
• Floors, including cantilevered floors and band joist areas in floor systems.
• Kneewalls in cape-style structures.
• Joints between existing buildings and additions or modular buildings.
• Add a reflective roof coating which keeps your building cooler by absorbing less heat.
