Improving building enclosure performance While energy efficiency might initially suggest well-insulated walls and efficient HVAC systems, controlling air leakage can be just as critical. Uncontrolled air movement through penetrations in the building enclosure can increase energy costs as HVAC systems work harder to condition the air.
