According to the U.S. Department of Energy, more than 10% of all energy use in the country is attributed to the condition of building envelopes.  Buildings that leak energy due to age or poor envelope construction could be costing their owners up to 40% more in heating and 15% in cooling costs due to unintentional air filtration.  These leaks could occur all throughout the building -- at roof/wall joints, doors, windows, roof level changes, electrical outlets and elsewhere.

The solution is an air barrier audit to identify where leaks occur, and an air barrier system to control those leaks.  Your facility may also require a continuous air barrier to comply with local building code requirements.  Click here to download our white paper on the impact of ever-changing codes and guidelines on air barriers.

Canam Building Envelope Specialists, an affiliate of Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance and TremcIncorporated subsidiary WTI (Weatherproofing Technologies, Inc.), uses its unique ALCAP^(SM) process, which includes energy savings calculations, to provide building envelope solutions and air barrier systems that improve energy efficiency, eliminate air leakage and reduce costs.  Canam has more than 25 years of experience of providing air barrier audits, retrofit installations and testing.  Click here to access our program library, with videos, literature, technical documentation and much more that explains what we do, how we do it and how it can benefit you. 

The consequences of air leakage can be significant, leading to greater energy consumption, poor air quality, a decrease in your building’s life cycle and causing occupants of the building to be uncomfortable (and irritated). Air barrier solutions are an excellent way to prevent these issues and can help you evaluate the energy-efficient potential of your building.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about Canam and how we could help you lower your building's energy use by reducing air leakage, contact your local Tremco representative or use our Contact Us form.  Click here to download our flyer for more information.
