Air Seal
Architects use air sealing to improve the energy efficiency of a building. Air sealing is the process of tightly sealing the building envelope to prevent air leakage. It is one of the most effective ways to reduce energy costs, as it reduces the amount of heated or cooled air that escapes. Air sealing is a process of sealing any gaps, cracks, and openings in the building's exterior walls, doors, windows, and other openings. It is also important for controlling moisture and air quality, as air sealing prevents moisture from entering the building and keeps pollutants from entering the indoor environment. Air sealing also prevents drafts and helps to reduce noise levels. It can be achieved using a variety of materials such as caulk, foam, weatherstripping, and gaskets.
