Up to 75% of duct systems exhibit leakage levels of 10-25%, with some systems losing up to 40% of their heating and cooling energy. Duct leakage can introduce pollutants, humidity, and temperature inconsistencies. Addressing this leakage is critical for improving both energy efficiency and occupant comfort. In the Energy Services Today Fall 2024 issue, Aeroseal explains how sealing duct leakage can be applied in Energy Service Company (ESCO) projects to help achieve energy savings. #energyefficiency #HVAC
