Fairfax VA Energy Efficiency Attic Project with Spray Foam

This home in Fairfax VA had a multiple stage project to make the home more energy efficient and more comfortable.   One step was the encapsulation of the HVAC duct system in the attic with Spray Foam.  The existing ductwork had several holes at the joints where air was allowed to escape, making the HVAC system less efficient and requiring it to work harder and create more conditioned air.  The spray foam covering it protects the air from escaping and keeps attic temperatures from impacting the conditioned (cooled/heated) air travelling inside.  This will reduce the amount of energy used by the HVAC system and allow for better passage to the rooms it was intended to reach.
