The process of retrofitting a house or building to improve its energy efficiency. See also Retrofit.
Modifying a home or building to conserve energy. Methods include: sealing windows and doorframes with caulking or gaskets, installing storm doors and windows, and adding or increasing the insulation value.
A set of measures designed to reduce heat gain and/or heat loss (and thereby energy consumption). Common weatherization measures are weather stripping, ceiling and wall insulation, and storm windows and doors.
Modifying a home or structure to conserve energy. Methods include: sealing window and door frames with caulking or gaskets, installing storm doors and windows and adding or increasing the insulation.
Retrofitting a house's envelope with basic energy efficiency measures, such as weather-stripping, caulking, and insulation.
Work on a building exterior in order to reduce energy consumption for heating or cooling; work involving adding insulation, installing storm windows and doors, caulking cracks and putting on weather-stripping
Caulking and weatherstripping to reduce air infiltration and exfiltration into/out of a building.
Modifying a building to reduce energy loss, e.g., adding insulation or installing storm windows.
Weatherization (American English) or weatherproofing (British English) is the practice of protecting a building and its interior from the elements, particularly from sunlight, precipitation, and wind, and of modifying a building to reduce energy consumption and optimize energy efficiency. A house with no weatherization is virtually uninhabitable.
