Case Study: The Wasatch Group achieves net zero energy performance with Aeroseal AeroBarrier

The Wasatch Group cuts HVAC costs by 50% with Aeroseal

The Wasatch Group, a real estate developer, faced the challenge of reducing energy consumption by 50% for its 600-unit, all-electric, solar-powered community to achieve net zero status and address local air quality issues. To meet this goal in a cost-effective manner, they turned to vendor Aeroseal and its AeroBarrier air sealing technology.

Aeroseal's solution used a precise, automated process to seal leaks throughout the building envelopes, achieving a dramatic reduction from 10 ACH50 to less than 1 ACH50 per unit. This performance gave The Wasatch Group the confidence to cut their originally planned HVAC system sizes in half, saving substantial upfront capital. The project qualified for utility rebates that delivered a 150% return on investment on the Aeroseal service, and the technology has since become a standard specification for all of the developer's future projects.
