UnBuild It | Episode 145: High-Performance HVAC Ducting and Appliance Exhaust
Rockwool
The boys take a pretty deep dive into the how and the why of laying out HVAC ducts and registers, AND the science of makeup air/appliance exhaust. All things ducted must be coordinated with interior design, building enclosure performance, and mechanical system performance. And NOTE: Thermal comfort and indoor air quality are just as important as energy efficiency for all things mechanical.
