Thermal performance
equivalency
to spiral ductwork coated with PVC & wrapped in R-10
>
1
Uses geothermal and thermal mass principles to achieve performance in energy
efficiency
1
Ductwork has no PVC, no VOC, no corrosive materials and is non-spiral type
1 Free of any fibrous and carcinogenic materials in airflow
* Maintains higher flow rates with less friction losses
* Lighter weight for shipping and handling
1 Recyclable material; no waste during manufacture and at construction site
* Standard duct sizing 3” to 24"
1 50% less time and labor to install due
to proprietary connection technique
2 Meets highest air duct pressure classification (10 in w.c. maximum pressure)

All Green Points are designated by the Green Building** Council. Also your
county or state evaluation board may designate a minimum amount requirement
for Green Building in your area. AKDUCT and QADUCT has been identified by
our estimations to provide a sum of 14 points within the LEED criteria.
Due diligence is required on your part to identify those points and
qualify them to your specific building project and Green Point Rater (3rd party).

Green building” means a whole systems approach to the design, construction,
location and operation of buildings and structures that helps to mitigate the
environmental, economic, and social impacts of construction, demolition, and
renovation. Green building practices recognize the relationship between the
natural and built environments and seeks to minimize the use of energy, water,
and other natural resources and promote a healthy, productive indoor
environment.
