Pretty cool old building. Thanks for the video. We just had our home's brand new duct system aerosealed. The supply side had 40.6cfm leakage and got sealed down to 11.0 cfm. The return side started at 78.1 and got sealed down to 18.2. It was impressive it started out similar to leaving a medium sized window open. After the sealing it was closer to a window being cracked. The aeroseal dealer said the duct system was very well done by hand, but still 119 cfm. It was favoring the return side so we were sucking in attic air and pressurizing the house with nasty air. Very cool stuff. I think the leak was smaller than it was reading at the end because the huge plenum at the air handler where they blocked it off leaked a little throughout the process.

So glad you are re-using an old building! Very cool! I sealed my attic too. Had to go to a 90% efficient gas furnace. 16 SEER HVAC.
So neat to see this being used on retrofits. Are you guys doing any other envelope improvements (e.g. insulation)?
is there anyway to use this in the uk?
Unsure if they distribute in the UK, but you could ask around.
Let's face up to facts, we are lousy at building and hiding stuff.
