Case Study: Ameresco helps Federal Bureau of Prisons Facility cut duct leakage 89% with Aeroseal

Ameresco, Inc. reduces duct leakage by 89% with Aeroseal

The customer, Ameresco, Inc., faced a challenge at a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in San Diego where severely damaged and leaky ductwork was causing poor indoor air quality and high energy costs. Replacing the ducts was cost-prohibitive, so Ameresco partnered with vendor Aeroseal to find a solution using its duct sealing service.

Aeroseal implemented its aerosol-based duct sealing technology to repair the ducts from the inside. This solution achieved an 89% reduction in total leakage and resulted in calculated annual energy savings of $140,000. The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget, allowing Ameresco to avoid a multi-million dollar duct replacement cost.
