DUCTSEAL, the aerosol sealant used during the Aeroseal duct sealing process, has been certified compliant for low volatile organic chemical (VOC) emissions in accordance with the latest LEED standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Third-party testing by Berkeley Analytical concluded that the sealant tested below the lowest VOC concentration range of £0.5 mg/m3 for the presence of formaldehyde and other targeted VOCs.
Green building standards
This certification confirms that Aeroseal duct sealing meets USGBC LEED v4 standards for low-VOC coatings
This certification confirms that Aeroseal duct sealing meets USGBC LEED v4 standards for low VOC coatings and sealants, as well as other building standards that recognize the rigorous testing criteria as set by the California Department of Public Health Standard Method v1.2.
Additional green building standards include The WELL Building Standard and the ANSI/GBI 01 Green Building Assessment Protocol for Commercial Buildings.
Characteristics for low VOC emissions
“While aeroseal duct sealing has always demonstrated industry-pioneering characteristics for low VOC emissions, new testing methods and tighter industry standards warranted retesting and certification,” said Neal Walsh, Aeroseal’s Senior Vice President of Commercial Applications.
Neal Walsh adds, “With the official results of these latest tests and the resulting certification they provide, building engineers and property owners can now rest assured that aeroseal duct sealing provides a safe, sustainable and highly effective means of sealing commercial duct systems.”
