Air leaks and thermal gaps in the building envelope lead to discomfort, high energy bills, and overworked HVAC systems. Weatherization solutions help facilities reduce energy loss, improve temperature control, and support sustainability goals across a wide range of building types.
Weatherization involves sealing gaps, cracks, and penetrations in a building’s envelope to reduce air infiltration and heat loss. These improvements are especially effective in facilities with aging infrastructure, frequent door traffic, or varied occupancy schedules.
Typical weatherization measures include:
Air sealing around windows, doors, and mechanical penetrations
Adding or repairing weatherstripping and door sweeps
Sealing wall and ceiling leaks with caulk or foam
Patching envelope gaps around piping, cabling, and duct chases
Improving comfort zones and eliminating drafts in common areas
Weatherization is one of the most cost-effective upgrades for facilities looking to reduce HVAC runtime and improve indoor environmental quality.
Lower heating and cooling costs by 10–30%
Improve temperature consistency and reduce drafts
Reduce HVAC wear and tear by minimizing runtime
Support energy code compliance and decarbonization goals
Enhance indoor air quality by controlling infiltration
Increase occupant comfort and satisfaction
Qualify for utility or state-funded weatherization programs
Weatherization targets the building envelope—walls, windows, doors, roofs, and foundations—where uncontrolled air exchange causes energy waste. Technicians use a combination of materials and diagnostics to:
Seal visible and hidden gaps with caulking or foam
Install or replace weatherstripping and thresholds
Block infiltration pathways in mechanical spaces
Use optional infrared or airflow testing to identify leak zones
These improvements are often completed in a matter of hours and yield immediate comfort and efficiency benefits.
By preventing conditioned air from escaping—and outside air from entering—weatherization reduces the load on HVAC systems. This leads to:
Reduced gas or electric consumption for heating and cooling
More efficient temperature control across occupied zones
Extended life of HVAC units due to decreased cycling
Improved baseline energy performance, especially in older or mixed-use buildings
Schools, warehouses, healthcare buildings, multifamily properties, offices, and government facilities—especially those with aging infrastructure or high heating and cooling loads.
Facility Walkthrough or Audit Review – Identify envelope leaks, thermal issues, or common comfort complaints
Leak Detection & Prioritization – Map target areas for sealing
Material Selection – Choose sealing solutions based on application and durability
Installation – Perform sealing, sweeps, caulking, and repair work with minimal disruption
Follow-Up Review – Validate comfort improvements and support rebate documentation
Weatherization is eligible for prescriptive and custom utility incentives, especially in states with funded energy efficiency programs. Inovis helps facilities:
Access small business weatherization programs
Combine weatherization with insulation or HVAC upgrades
Implement phased projects aligned to capital planning cycles
These upgrades often require no design work, are easy to implement, and deliver strong return on investment.
Weatherization is a fast, cost-effective way to improve comfort and reduce energy waste across your facility. Let us assess your building envelope and recommend targeted improvements.
