The homes at net-zero The Sonders Project have been designed to optimize efficiency, durability, and performance. 

To ensure proper weatherization and protection, the homes will be equipped with a suite of DuPont products. The company is excited to demonstrate how their “complete system of products and solutions work together to seal the building envelope and help deliver a high-performing home,” says Alan C. Hubbell, residential marketing leader of water & protection at DuPont Performance Building Solutions.

DuPont’s solutions help to protect building structures from water damage, increase energy efficiency and provide improved comfort and optimal indoor air quality for occupants. The full system at The Sonders Project also features low-VOC materials, which helps reduce the overall indoor environmental impact of structures. 

In terms of the home’s energy saving over time, DuPont weatherization solutions help building owners save energy and reduce the carbon footprint of the homes.

“By helping to increase the airtightness of the building envelope, DuPont Weatherization solutions can have a positive impact on energy efficiency, helping achieve net-zero carbon in three key ways:  contribute to ventilation effectiveness (heating/cooling), protect against loss of R-value due to wind washing, and protect against loss of R-value due to wetting of insulation,” Hubbell explains.

“DuPont is committed to developing sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. We continue to create products and processes that pass rigorous criteria for reducing the use of energy, water and materials,” concludes Hubbell.
