Air Sealing and Attic Insulation – New Construction

This video from Dr. Energy Saver’s Energy U series, walk us through the process of air sealing and attic insulation of a new construction in CT.

Learn about common air leakage sources and how they can amount to huge energy waste.

This particular home had both a conventional attic and a cathedral ceiling area. Both were insulated with blown cellulose, using different techniques and approaches.

 

A New Concept in Home Staging

Home staging for the third millennium is about adding some real value to the property, by investing in improvements that will convince prospective buyers that they are not only getting their money's worth, but they are making the best possible investment.

 

Green retrofits and deep energy efficient retrofits not only add value and appeal to the property, they are more affordable than you may think, and offer a great return as well. 

 

More good news? No home is beyond help. This post  shows how every home can be retrofitted to perform as well as a newly built "green" home. 

Green Building: Insulation in New Construction – Part 2

In this second episode Larry Janesky from Dr. Energy Saver shows different insulation options to treat different areas of a newly built home. There are many insulation materials available to custom design a cost effective solution to fit the building’s insulation needs and budget.

New Construction: Air Sealing for Energy Savings



Larry Janesky from Dr. Energy Saver walk us through a new construction to show us how to air seal the gaps and openings commonly left around windows and doors. Air sealing these gaps will prevent air leakages, which are usually responsible for a lot of energy waste. The energy loss through air leakages in an average U.S. home is the equivalent to leaving a window open all winter long, 24/7.

Energy Efficient Retrofits on Existing Homes

No home is beyound help when it comes to saving energy and helping the environment.

Dr Energy Saver of CT helps a homeowner in Groton, CT save a lot of money by performing some much needed energy efficient retrofits, including attic and basement insulation. The wall cavities of the finished basement were insulated with injection foam.

Every home can be made air tight and energy efficient, and perform as well as a newly built “green” home.

Here’s a video on how Injection Foam Insulation can help insulate wall cavities in existing homes.

Unlike regular spray foam, injection foam does not expand and is not sticky allowing for easy and almost mess free application in existing buildings.
