The Relationship Between Air Leakage, Energy Consumption, and Running Costs

There is a positive correlation between air leakage and energy consumption and running costs. With more air leakage in your ductwork, the greater the energy costs. Kingspan KoolDuct system reduces energy consumption and running costs by minimizing air leakage. An independent study of the Kingspan KoolDuct system found that the pre-insulated duct work reduces 30% of energy required to run a fan in an HVAC system and can reduce the size of a fan needed in the system, which can offer up to a 10% savings in capital cost.

The Kingspan KoolDuct System Improves Installation Speed and Reduces Project Timelines

The Kingspan KoolDuct system has had several speed assessments done by independent consulting firms. The studies conclude that Kingspan KoolDuct system provides for effective installation speed, with up to a 28% savings on labor man hours. Independent studies have also found that the KoolDuct system can be installed 3x faster than standard sheet metal. Overall, the time savings provided by KoolDuct reduces risk and the need for time extensions on construction projects.
