Air Sealing Training for
Insulators, Contractors, & Architects
Learn the simple skills that will save you time and money on every job.
Eliminate call-backs and never fail and air leakage test again.
Are you frustrated by:
Having to go back multiple times to air seal locations that were missed or follow up after another trade made a bunch of new holes?
Air sealing crews using a ton of expensive spray foam in areas where cheap caulk would do just as well, or even better?
A total lack of training available to you and your air sealing installers that focuses on how to be systematic, efficient, and more profitable?
Introducing The ASA Way...
Our training is the only training that focuses on making
your business more profitable, more reliable, and less stressful.
Save Time.
Learn what to seal and what not to seal. Get the timing right and master being systematic. Avoid getting called back to seal the things that were missed. Time is money, and you can potentially cut your air sealing time in half.
Save Money.
Learn how you can use inexpensive caulk instead of expensive spray foam for many applications, often with better results. And, use them in the right amounts.
Be Confident.
Using our methodology - The ASA Way - to air seal a building will leave you feeling confident that you were as efficient as possible with time and materials to achieve a passing air leakage test.
Air sealing is a skill that can be learned. Don't expect your team to just know it. They may figure it out, and do just fine, but they will waste a ton of time and materials and still not guarantee success.

…and I have performed thousands of air sealing inspections. The fact is, I’m seeing the same mistakes today as I was in 2009. It’s frustrating for me, but really frustrating for the insulators and contractors that I work with. So much wasted time and effort! I know by learning just a few simple techniques everyone could do much better. Whether you are relatively new to air sealing (code upgrade maybe) or have been doing it for years, our courses can help you improve.
Several years ago I owned an air sealing company, which is where I developed the skills, systems, and techniques that I am going to teach you and your team members. We were very profitable and never failed an air leakage test, so I know this works.
I am making all the systems and methods we developed available to the public and calling it The ASA Way.
