The F.I.C. team provided a full air seal package for Fire Station 13 at the Broadway Public Safety Station in Asheville, North Carolina. This work was essential in helping the building pass its required air leakage test as part of final commissioning.
Air sealing is one of the most important parts of energy-efficient construction. Even with quality insulation, uncontrolled air movement through gaps and penetrations can lead to:
-
Failing blower door / leakage testing
-
Higher utility costs for heating and cooling
-
Reduced comfort for building occupants
-
Shortened HVAC system lifespan
Our spray foam crew worked to ensure every transition, penetration, and vulnerable joint in the building envelope was properly sealed. By combining spray foam insulation techniques with targeted sealing methods, we minimized air leakage and optimized performance of the overall building system.
This project stands as a great example of how effective air sealing supports energy efficiency, code compliance, and long-term durability for large-scale facilities.
