Aeroseal Arabia and Tandem Engineering Group Announce Strategic Partnership
Aeroseal Arabia announces a strategic partnership with Tandem Engineering Group to address a critical challenge facing the built environment: the persistent gap between predicted energy performance and actual operational energy use.
Despite increasingly sophisticated building design tools and energy models, many buildings consume significantly more energy than anticipated once operational. This gap is driven by unverified assumptions, hidden energy loss pathways, and insufficient performance validation during construction, commissioning, and early operation.
This partnership establishes a design-to-energy-performance workflow focused on ensuring that energy efficiency is not only designed, but measured, verified, and sustained throughout the building lifecycle.
An Integrated, Energy-Performance-Driven Approach
The collaboration is structured around a single objective: reducing avoidable operational energy demand by identifying and eliminating real-world energy losses within buildings.
By combining Tandem Engineering Group’s expertise in energy modelling, whole-building performance analysis, and system optimization with Aeroseal Arabia’s building performance diagnostics, testing, and verification capabilities, the partnership applies an energy-first methodology grounded in measured outcomes rather than theoretical compliance.
Instead of treating energy efficiency as a downstream result of design, the approach focuses on how energy is actually consumed, lost, and redistributed during operation. This includes losses driven by uncontrolled air movement, pressure imbalance, system interaction inefficiencies, distribution losses, and deviations between design assumptions and as-built performance.
This integrated methodology enables:
- Identification of dominant energy loss pathways, allowing interventions to be prioritized based on measurable energy impact
- Reduction of avoidable heating, cooling, and electrical energy demand, by stabilizing building pressure, improving system interaction, and minimizing uncontrolled losses
- Verification-based commissioning and performance assurance, confirming that systems and assemblies operate within defined energy performance parameters
- Measured and repeatable energy outcomes, replacing assumed efficiency gains with validated results
From Design Intent to Verified Energy Performance
Energy models and design calculations rely on assumptions about how buildings will behave in operation. When these assumptions are not verified, energy consumption increases, system efficiency degrades, and operational costs rise.
Through this partnership, energy performance is actively managed from early design through construction, commissioning, and handover. Tandem Engineering Group provides system-level energy analysis and optimization, while Aeroseal Arabia applies targeted diagnostics, testing, and performance verification to confirm how the building performs in reality.
This process transforms energy performance from a predicted outcome into a verified operational condition, supported by measured data rather than estimates.
Measurable Energy Savings and Operational Outcomes
By targeting the root causes of excess energy consumption, the partnership delivers verifiable reductions in operational energy use across building assets.
Key outcomes include:
- Lower whole-building energy demand, driven by the elimination of uncontrolled losses and inefficient system interactions
- Improved energy stability and predictability, reducing performance drift after handover
- Reduced operational and lifecycle costs, as systems operate closer to intended conditions with less corrective intervention
- Improved indoor environmental quality, achieved through stable pressure control and balanced performance rather than increased energy input
All outcomes are supported by measurement, testing, and validation, enabling benchmarking, troubleshooting, and continuous performance improvement.
Certainty for Building Owners, Consultants, and Facility Managers
For owners, consultants, contractors, and facility managers, this partnership introduces a higher level of certainty around energy performance. Decisions are guided by measured energy impact, not assumptions or generic best practices.
By aligning building science with operational verification, Aeroseal Arabia and Tandem Engineering Group help ensure that energy efficiency targets are achieved at handover and maintained over time, supporting regulatory compliance, sustainability commitments, and long-term asset value.
