Father Jim called us to improve the energy efficiency of an almost 100 year old Church.
Certified Comfort and Energy Specialist Mark O. designed several solutions to improve the energy efficiency and extend the life of the HVAC systems.
Foreman Mike Y. and his team air sealed the attic and properly insulated with cellulose insulation to R60 for optimum results. All six HVAC systems were thoroughly cleaned and all of the ductwork was spray foamed to insulate and prevent the conditioned air from being lost in the attic.
The end result was a more efficient building.
Eric from Mingo Junction Oh called saying he has mold in his crawl space and would also like to know how he can make rooms above crawlspace more comfortable. Russel went out to inspect for microbial growth and to perform a free energy audit. When he arrived he found old molded batt insulation, wire and plumbing runs unsealed and an uninsulated door to the crawl space.
Our mold Team arrived and prepared the space for treatment. They removed and disposed of all old insulation, used a surface and substrate cleaner for the removal of organic contamination and ran HEPA vac. Our insulation team then installed cleanspace encapsulation system with drainage matting, terrablock floor insulation and silverglo. Last installed a Dr Energy saver insulated door to access the crawl space.
