Pennsylvania is leading the way in high performance building.

AeroBarrier is the only method to reach any level of air tightness, the first time, every time.

Pennsylvania has implemented sustainability programs and initiatives to promote green building practices. The city's Greenworks Philadelphia plan sets ambitious goals for reducing energy consumption, increasing renewable energy use, and improving air and water quality. These initiatives create a supportive environment for green construction projects and the adoption of technologies like AeroBarrier, the most effective air sealing solution for green building projects.

We connect our patented technology to your home via a modified blower to pressurize and distribute the sealing formula. The pressure carries our non-toxic, water-based formula throughout the home and effectively seals any leak by using the very air that is leaking out of the home, thereby finding any leak point; visible or not.

Why Choose AeroBarrier?

Pennsylvania offers several compelling reasons for builders to consider AeroBarrier:

Energy Efficiency Incentives: Pennsylvania has various energy efficiency programs and incentives in place that encourage builders to adopt sustainable building practices. These programs provide financial incentives, tax credits, and grants for incorporating energy-efficient technologies and achieving high-performance standards in residential construction. By utilizing AeroBarrier, builders can enhance energy efficiency in homes and take advantage of these incentives, resulting in cost savings and increased market competitiveness.
Pennsylvania Utility Rebate Programs: FirstEnergy's Pennsylvania Utilities Energy Efficient New Homes Program is an initiative that provides incentives and rebates to encourage builders in Pennsylvania to construct energy-efficient new homes. The program aims to promote sustainable construction practices and reduce energy consumption in residential buildings. Through the Energy Efficient New Homes Program, builders can earn financial incentives for constructing homes that meet specific energy efficiency criteria.
Federal Tax Credits: While not specific to Pennsylvania, builders in the state can benefit from federal tax credits for energy-efficient construction. These credits include the Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit and the Nonbusiness Energy Property Tax Credit, which provide incentives for incorporating renewable energy systems and energy-efficient equipment in new homes. The 45L tax credit is a federal tax incentive in the United States aimed at promoting energy efficiency in residential buildings.The current credit ranges from $2,500 to $5,000 per house.
Green Building Certification Programs: Pennsylvania recognizes various green building certification programs, such as ENERGY STAR, ZERH, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), and the National Green Building Standard. Builders who achieve these certifications can gain recognition for their energy-efficient homes and may be eligible for additional incentives or marketing benefits.
Environmental Stewardship: Pennsylvania has a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. By choosing AeroBarrier, a technology that effectively seals air leaks and reduces energy waste, builders can significantly contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the overall environmental impact of residential buildings. This aligns with Pennsylvania's efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainable development.
Market Demand: There is an increasing demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly homes in Pennsylvania. Homebuyers are seeking energy-efficient features that can help lower energy bills, improve indoor comfort, and reduce their ecological footprint. By incorporating AeroBarrier, large production builders can differentiate themselves in the market and meet the growing demand for high-efficiency homes, attracting environmentally conscious buyers.
Regulatory Compliance: Pennsylvania has adopted energy codes and building standards that prioritize energy efficiency. By utilizing AeroBarrier, builders can achieve superior air sealing, exceeding the requirements of the energy codes. This ensures compliance with state regulations and demonstrates a commitment to delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes to buyers.
Long-Term Cost Savings: AeroBarrier helps create a tightly sealed building envelope, reducing air leakage and improving insulation effectiveness. This results in reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling, leading to long-term cost savings for homeowners. By offering homes with lower operating costs, builders can enhance the value proposition of their properties and appeal to budget-conscious buyers.

Did you know?

In February of 2022 Philadelphia introduced the 2018 IECC requiring all building envelopes to pass 3 ACH50 blower door tests, this includes single family homes, multifamily buildings and townhomes.

Achieving a blower door test result of 3 ACH50 (air changes per hour at 50 Pascals) can be challenging but is not impossible, and the pay off you achieve in energy efficiency makes it totally worth the effort. It requires careful attention to building design, construction techniques, and the implementation of proper air sealing measures. Builders need to pay close attention to details and ensure a comprehensive air barrier throughout the building envelope to minimize air leakage.

AeroBarrier provides a consistent and guaranteed solution to reach these air sealing requirements. If you are a builder struggling to get to 3 ACH50 consistently, or you are looking to go beyond the code requirements to meet Phius, Zero Ready or another building program, contact us today.
