Founded in 2018, Adept Materials specializes in manufacturing innovative construction materials designed to enhance building sustainability. Their products include smart multi-functional wall panels, sheathing, and roofing that passively manage heat and moisture flow, improving energy efficiency, durability, and comfort while simplifying construction processes.

AeroShield specializes in the production of super-insulating, nanoporous glass materials designed for energy-efficient windows. Utilizing silica aerogel, AeroShield's products offer optical clarity akin to traditional glass while delivering superior insulation, making them 50% more effective than conventional double-pane windows. This innovative approach not only enhances thermal comfort but also significantly improves energy performance, allowing window manufacturers to meet sustainability and compliance objectives. Additionally, the payback period for AeroShield's materials is up to five times faster than that of similarly performing windows, making them a compelling choice for the modern market.

Kwiksulate is a developer of an innovative self-contained foam insulation system that enables users to dispense spray foam as needed. The company's product features a handheld dispenser that utilizes a magazine filled with foam precursors. This design allows for precise application tailored to the user's requirements, promoting efficiency and waste reduction. Additionally, the foam precursors are packaged in flexible bags that occupy less space than traditional insulation materials, further contributing to waste management. The fundamental architecture of Kwiksulate's system has potential applications beyond insulation, aiming to minimize costs and environmental impact across various industries.

Building Envelope Materials specializes in creating innovative solutions to enhance the energy efficiency of existing buildings. Founded in 2014, the company initially received a grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center to develop a method for injecting closed-cell polyurethane foam into under-insulated wall cavities. This technology has been refined through further funding from various organizations, enabling the company to significantly increase insulation values in typical fiberglass-filled walls, from R10 to R23, resulting in a reduction of energy usage by 25% or more. Their pinhole insulation technique allows for insulation installation through a small, easily repaired opening, completing the process for an entire home in just one day. The company is expanding its offerings to include insulation solutions for cathedral ceilings, dormer roofs, and flat roofs, while also working on safer alternatives to traditional spray foam for new construction applications. By fully implementing their pinhole insulation across all cavities, Building Envelope Materials aims to double or triple the energy savings compared to conventional weatherization methods.
