The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the Center for Energy and Environment to provide research needed to successfully integrate aerosol envelope sealing into the home building process. The project team would work directly with builders to identify the best stages for incorporating aerosol sealing, from the perspectives of cost, performance, and seamless integration into the construction process.
Activities associated with the proposed project would include information gathering, participant recruitment, baseline establishment, air leakage assessment, field demonstration of aerosol sealing process, performance evaluation, process optimization, and reporting /dissemination of findings. Information gathering, participant recruitment, process optimization, and management/reporting would be conducted from Center for Energy and Environment offices in Minneapolis, MN.
