The only reason I’m aware of the importance of HVAC duct design is because my partner in addition to I built a modern apartment a couple of years ago.
My fantastic friend and I spent quite a bit of time debating between unusual styles of heating in addition to cooling.
When my pal and I ultimately settled on a furnace in addition to central A/C, the Heating, Ventilation & A/C company went into good detail about designing in addition to fabricating the HVAC duct. I did some research in addition to learned that the duct system directly impacts energy consumption, utility costs, indoor temperature in addition to air quality. The average apartment requires more than 300 feet of supply in addition to return HVAC duct. The majority of homeowners are only getting approximately 60% of potential efficiency from their heating in addition to cooling system due to improper duct design in addition to installation. If the maximum amount of conditioned air isn’t getting distributed to the rooms, it’s far more hard to achieve an even temperature in addition to reasonable comfort. My partner in addition to I were fortunate that the Heating, Ventilation & A/C supplier my pal and I hired was proficient in heat load calculation, HVAC duct design in addition to include sheet metal fabrication capabilities. Because our HVAC duct promotes optimum airflow to meet the heating in addition to cooling requirements of the house, my pal and I are totally comfortable on the coldest winter time nights in addition to hottest summer time nights. All the duct joints are secured mechanically with sheet metal screws in addition to further sealed with mastic paste in addition to foil tape. This works to avoid loss of air in addition to the occasion of contaminants getting drawn in addition to spread into our breathing air. My fantastic friend and I enjoy superior air quality in addition to peak energy efficiency. The furnace in addition to A/C don’t need to run as often or work as hard, which should add up to greater reliability in addition to longevity.
