NWNO 4 - Duct Leakage & Duct Sealing

Wednesday, March 03, 2010  ·  2:35 PM - 4:00 PM

Duct systems have two types of holes: intentional (registers) and unintentional (possible leaks). Holes have different effects on how a house uses energy and on the comfort and safety of occupants. This session will provide a concise overview of the difference between a hole and a leak, the effects of duct leakage on energy use and house pressures, the importance of prioritizing duct repair work, and the various benefits of performing diagnostic tests (hint: these go beyond saving energy).
