Everybody in the Pool

E70: The Invisible Energy Leak in Your Home (And How to Fix It)


Listen Later

In this episode of Everybody in the Pool, host Molly Wood explores an overlooked climate solution hiding in plain sight: leaky air ducts and building envelopes. She speaks with Amit Gupta, CEO of Aeroseal, about an innovative technology that uses "pixie dust" physics to seal energy-wasting leaks in buildings. Learn how up to 40% of your heating and cooling could be escaping through poorly sealed ducts, and discover a solution that's good for both the planet and your wallet.


"Leaking air ducts is the single largest reason for energy wastage in US homes. Single largest reason, right? And nobody is fixing it." - Amit Gupta


The episode reveals how simple infrastructure fixes could make a significant impact on both home comfort and climate change, with insights into how this technology is being used in everything from residential homes to hospitals and commercial buildings.
