Research shows airtightness has a greater impact on a home’s energy use than any other single factor. If you want a home that performs well year-round, start with airtightness.
By using the Aero solution, Pragma reached the airtightness levels required in a practical and cost-effective way. Independent blower door testing by BXG verified the results, using ATTMA Method testing.
Airtightness is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to improve comfort, health, and energy efficiency in your home, but most people don’t realise just how big a difference it makes.
Here’s a look at how Pragma Homes used AeroBarrier to meet Homestar airtightness targets on a major subdivision in Hamilton, New Zealand. AeroBarrier is changing how New Zealand homes achieve airtightness.
Research worldwide shows that homes with certified energy-efficient features sell faster and for a premium. Buyers want proof, not just promises.
Every home has an envelope, its unseen shield against the elements. But true comfort and efficiency come when that envelope is not only weathertight, but airtight.
Great to host Matthew Cutler-Welsh from the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) and Sam Dallimore from The Building Excellence Group (BXG)!
In this episode of The Build Show, Matt Risinger takes a deep dive into AeroBarrier and shows it in action during construction of his own home.
