Case Study: Sutter Solano Medical Center

The Solution

Air Seal Solutions implemented the Aeroseal process to address the leakage problem. The team arrived on Saturday morning and by 3:00 pm, they had completely sealed the ductwork, reducing leakage from 650 CFM to less than 1%.

Results

• Leakage reduced from 653.3 CFM to 0 CFM
• OSHPD compliant
• Annual cost savings of $1,438

Benefits of Using Aeroseal

• Reduce Energy and Consumption Cost: Reducing duct leaks decreases fan requirements, saving thousands of dollars monthly.
• Improve Indoor Air Quality: Sealed ducts prevent dust and contaminants from spreading throughout the facility.
• Improve Building Ventilation: Effective sealing ensures proper building exhaust and reduces energy and maintenance costs.
• Meet Code and Spec: Consistent results with Aeroseal help meet tight duct leakage specifications.

Client Testimonials

"The technology is really quite amazing. Because of how the existing duct was sandwiched into the ceiling, along with pipes and electric conduits, there was simply no room to manually seal. But the hospital didn't want to hear that there was a problem ‐ they wanted results; results we couldn’t achieve. Then with Aeroseal, the problem simply went away. It really saved our backside."
- Ron Lynch, Project Manager, Superior Mechanical Services

"I fight leakage every workday. It's the worst enemy I have and I find it in virtually every commercial building I test. I was amazed at how fast and effective Aeroseal was at getting the ductwork tight. After the ducts were sealed, I measured the airflow at the top floor and then the bottom, and for the first time in my professional career, I got virtually the same number. That has never happened before. Never. I simply don’t understand why every sheet metal shop isn’t using Aeroseal."
