✦ Synopsis

An aerosol duct sealing system to reduce energy loss in large commercial buildings has been developed by scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). They have invented an aerosol-based system called MASIS for sealing the ducts of large commercial buildings. The "mobile aerosol-sealant injection system" (MASIS) is based on the aerosol duct-sealing device developed by Berkeley Lab researchers for sealing ducts and reducing energy loss in residential and small commercial systems. It now incorporates two new patented technologies that
