In the land of comfort, educated home owners are changing their thermal expectations from HVAC systems, and contractors are on the front line hunting for the best solutions. Regardless of ducts or pipes, the “migration” of heat takes a basic understanding of what works and what doesn’t.

This round, overhead, and porous fabric HVAC duct system distributes a large volume of air into data center cold aisles with low 400-feet-per-minute velocities that don’t upset critical equipment intake and exhaust or room return air containment balances.

This system is completely automatic and works in concert with an existing forced-air system via the Integrated Ventilation Relay Center (IVRC).

Registers and grilles provide opportunities for you to easily solve comfort issues and make upgrade accessory sales that may have been overlooked previously. By understanding the impact these accessories have on HVAC systems and the air distribution in rooms, you create a win-win for you and your customers.

Depending on who you’re talking with, the phrase "green ductwork" can mean different things, though most agree it typically encompasses recycled materials, various IAQ elements, duct-sealing products, and more. 

When purchasing a newly constructed home, homeowners assume all the appliances and electrical and mechanical systems will be working as they should because they’re brand new. However, with some houses, that may not be the case. If builders don’t take proper steps to cover ducts during construction, homeowners may be in for a rude awakening.

People want to breathe clean, fresh air, which has thrust IAQ into the mainstream. This thriving consumer and contractor awareness is serving as a catalyst for manufacturers as they strive to develop new, cutting-edge ventilation products.

With duct systems gaining more public attention than ever before, why not capitalize on this growing opportunity? Let’s take a look at airflow upgrades and how they might fit into your company.

A new study conducted by AHRI's Zone Control System Technology product section revealed that bypass-type single-stage cooling zoning systems may positively influence an HVAC system’s EER.
