Ducting Explored

Have you been stuck indoors because of the COVID-19 situation? Even before this pandemic, research  shows that urban dwellers spend about 90% of our time indoors. This holds even more true with the current situation where we're staying at home more to do our part to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. 

 

To circulate the air and provide a more comfortable indoor environment, typical buildings rely on heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems that operate continuously, resulting in high energy usage and sometimes noisy environments. We highly recommend air ducts to be insulated for:  

 

(1) Improved energy-efficiency, and 

(2) Overall noise reduction 

 

In this five-part series, we explore why insulated ducts help to create a more comfortable environment indoors. We'll also share the existing solutions available in the market so that you can make an informed decision in your next project.
