Simple energy modernization programs for existing homes could reduce electricity use by about 10,000 GWh/year. These programs could also decrease carbon emissions by 7.6 million tons annually. These findings show we must implement green technology solutions in our building sector to arrange with Saudi Vision 2030’s sustainability goals.

Understanding Aeroseal Envelope Technology

Our years of work with building efficiency technologies show that Aeroseal Envelope technology offers a groundbreaking solution to building air leakage problems. This state-of-the-art solution has earned recognition as a proven air sealing method in 30 countries. We look forward to seeing it implemented across Saudi Arabia’s construction sector.

How Aeroseal technology works

The Aeroseal process takes a smart approach to sealing building envelopes. It pressurizes the building interior and releases an aerosol mist with sealant particles. The technology works exceptionally well because it can seal leaks as small as a human hair and up to 1/2 inch wide. Here’s how the process unfolds:

1. Building pressurization using a modified blower
2. Distribution of water-based acrylic sealant throughout the space
3. Self-guided sealant particles find and seal leaks
4. Up-to-the-minute monitoring of the sealing process
5. Verification of results through computerized analysis

Key components and installation process

Aeroseal Envelope system’s core components include:

• Patented pressurization technology
• Water-based acrylic sealant (GreenGuard Gold certified)
• Modified blower system
• Up-to-the-minute monitoring equipment
• Computerized analysis tools

The installation takes only 60-90 minutes, which makes it much faster than traditional methods. A blower door test helps us control and measure the desired air leakage requirements precisely.

Advantages over conventional methods

Aeroseal stands out from traditional sealing methods in several important ways. The technology has proven to be 60% more effective and 30% less expensive than manual sealing methods. The automated process cuts down on human error dramatically and reduces labor hours from 16 to just 3 hours.

The sealant’s durability impresses us the most. Tests show it can last up to 50 years of service. The sealant stays rubbery and bendable after drying, which helps it resist deterioration over time.

Building performance sees notable improvements with this technology. It reduces energy waste and helps HVAC systems work better. The system’s precision lets us meet and verify air tightness requirements instantly, so there’s no need for expensive re-testing and rework.

Implementation Strategy and Best Practices

Aeroseal Envelope technology needs careful planning and precise execution. We have created a proven approach through extensive testing and real-life applications that will give optimal results to improve building efficiency in Saudi Arabia.

Site assessment and preparation

A full picture of the site must meet international standards including ISO 9972:2006 and ASTM E779 before Aeroseal installation begins. Our preparation process has these steps:

• Covering horizontal surfaces and finished areas
• Sealing HVAC components and registers
• Installing temporary collars for equipment connection
• Setting up ventilation and air scrubbers
• Conducting original pressure testing

Installation methodology

Our computer-controlled installation process works 60% more effectively than traditional methods. The systematic approach takes just 3 hours instead of 16 hours with conventional methods.

The building gets pressurized first to establish baseline measurements. Technicians then start the sealing process by introducing the patented sealant as a fine mist into the pressurized space. A computerized system monitors the process continuously and adjusts pressure levels and sealant distribution to achieve optimal coverage.

Quality control and verification

Quality assurance forms the core of our implementation strategy. Live monitoring systems track sealing progress every 60 seconds. This helps us:

1. Verify achievement of target ACH50 ratings
2. Generate computerized analysis of results
3. Provide same-day certification of completion
4. Document before-and-after performance metrics

Our quality control process has detailed envelope leakage testing that meets ATTMA standards Level-01 & 02. The system reduces air leakage from original readings of 25-40% to minimal levels. Some projects show improvements of up to 89.5% in air sealing effectiveness.

This systematic approach delivers consistent results and provides immediate proof of the sealing process effectiveness. Computer-generated certification shows concrete evidence of improvement with significant reductions in air leakage rates. Evidence-based methods help us maintain high standards while meeting Saudi Arabia’s strict building efficiency requirements.
