Air & Vapor Barriers

Prevent Energy Leakage

Air barriers control air leakage into and out of the building envelope. In both warm and cool climates, air barriers can maximize the performance of the building envelope and significantly reduce energy costs.

Air leaking is the leading cause of energy waste in commercial buildings. According to a study conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, minimizing air leakage can result in energy savings as high as 37%.
