The importance of having good seams
Building owners and tenants purchase energy needed
to operate air conditioning systems, when the air which has been
mechanically heated or cooled leaks out of
the duct system energy dollars are wasted. Energy is lost at an average
rate of 20 to 30 percent, this compromises energy production,
energy consumption, and energy expense.
The result is wasted energy dollars purchased by building
owners and tenants. Energy wasted is the result of a leaking duct
work, in many cases, generated by the burning
of fossil fuels. Therefore, unnecessary
atmospheric heat and millions of pounds of pollution
is vented into the atmosphere each year
contributing to unwarranted global warming and
atmospheric contamination.
