Case Study: Thrive Home Builders achieves energy-efficient, airtight homes with AeroBarrier from Aeroseal

Thrive Home Builders reduces leakage 70% with Aeroseal

Thrive Home Builders, a Denver-area home builder, faced the challenge of consistently meeting strict air tightness codes for their multi-family units, particularly with issues stemming from garage separation walls that were failing inspections. To address this, they turned to vendor Aeroseal and utilized their AeroBarrier air sealing service.

The solution implemented by Aeroseal involved using the AeroBarrier process to emit a sealant mist that automatically located and sealed leaks in the building envelope. This allowed Thrive Home Builders to reduce air leakage by 70%, achieving a consistent post-leakage rate of 1.6 ACH50 and exceeding code requirements. The results eliminated the stress of certification tests for the construction team, and the innovative approach to garage separation is now being tested by the Department of Energy.
