Many HVAC professionals simply don’t see the value in making aspects of building science part of their daily operations. One idea that has helped a lot of HVAC professionals see this need is the “Building Side of the Duct System” concept. Let’s look at this a little bit more.
When you examine most buildings, they can typically be broken down to simple structures made up of walls, a ceiling, and a floor. To keep these structures comfortable, insulation is added and attempts are made to keep unconditioned air out and in the places it is supposed to be. These structures are conditioned with HVAC systems, hopefully delivering the heating and cooling homeowners have paid for.
