Quality Insulation Installation plays a crucial role in maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ) and contributes to the overall efficiency of systems like whole house fans. Additionally, considerations for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and home additions should include these factors to enhance comfort and air quality.

Duct testing is essential to identify leaky ducts that can lead to poor air flow and negatively impact indoor air quality. Minimum air flow and proper refrigerant charge verification are also important, and all of this must be third-party verified in accordance with Title 24 guidelines.

Office buildings, multi-family homes, and retail spaces all benefit from proper duct testing to ensure indoor air quality is maintained. Addressing issues like leaky ducts and poor air flow is crucial for creating a comfortable environment. Additionally, the importance of quality installation cannot be overlooked in these types of structures.
Don't Lose Your COOL!
In the average U.S. home, duct leakage is estimated to be between 20% and 30% of the air flowing through the system. This results in significant losses of conditioned air, which can lead to wasted energy, poor air flow, and higher utility bills. The specific amount of leakage can vary based on the home's construction, as well as the age and condition of the duct system. Duct testing conducted by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found average leakage rates of 10% for supply ducts and 12% for return ducts, totaling 22%. However, some studies indicate that leaky ducts can have averages as high as 30%, which can negatively affect indoor air quality. Ensuring quality insulation installation can help mitigate these issues.
