As an AeroBarrier-certified installer, our team seals new construction projects to meet or exceed the most stringent energy codes. From pre-drywall air sealing to comprehensive blower door testing, our process delivers verifiable results that reduce energy waste and enhance indoor comfort. Whether you’re a building code in Overland Park or a homeowner building your forever home in Lee’s Summit, investing in professional, code-compliant air sealing during new construction is one of the highest-ROI decisions you’ll make.

Education

What Is New Construction Air Sealing?

New construction air sealing is the practice of methodically eliminating gaps, cracks, and penetrations in a home’s building envelope — the barrier between conditioned indoor space and unconditioned outdoor air — before drywall and finishes are installed. Unlike retrofitting an existing home, sealing during new construction allows technicians to access every potential leakage point, from rim joists and top plates to plumbing and electrical penetrations. Using a combination of spray foam, caulk, gaskets, and advanced aerosol sealing (AeroBarrier), we ensure conditioned air stays where you want it — inside your home. For builders, meeting code often means demonstrating a blower door result not greater than 3–7 ACH50 depending on jurisdiction. Our team routinely achieves results that exceed these minimums, helping you earn energy certifications and build a reputation for quality.

How much does new construction air sealing cost in Kansas City?
In Kansas City, new construction air sealing costs typically range from $400 for basic caulking and gasketing to over $2,500 for advanced aerosol envelope sealing (AeroBarrier) plus blower door verification. Green Seal Energy provides a firm, upfront quote based on your home’s square footage, architectural complexity, and airtightness target.
Most Kansas City area jurisdictions have adopted energy codes requiring a maximum air leakage rate of 3–7 ACH50, verified by a blower door test. The 2024 IECC further tightens requirements, mandating 3 ACH50 and requiring sealing of all rim joists and plates. We help builders meet and exceed these evolving standards.
A blower door is a diagnostic tool mounted in an exterior doorway that contains a calibrated fan. The fan depressurizes the home, and sensors measure the rate at which air leaks back in. The result — expressed in ACH50 — tells you exactly how tight your envelope is. Code requires testing after rough-in and again after finishes are complete.
We perform the majority of air sealing during the rough-in stage — after framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are installed but before drywall goes up. This is when all penetrations are accessible. A pre-drywall blower door test identifies remaining leaks for last-minute sealing. A final test after drywall provides the official compliance number.
Yes. Our team has deep experience with advanced certification programs. We can develop an air sealing plan tailored to hit specific HERS targets or Passive House airtightness thresholds (typically 0.6 ACH50). From initial design consultation to final verification testing, we’re with you every step of the way.
