Hey Ed, Why Do We Reduce Ducts?
In this edition of "Hey Ed," Ed talks about reducing ducts.
Hey Ed, why do we reduce ducts? - This is another duct design question that is near and dear to my heart. We’ll get people that will make very specific comments about what it’s for and the reality of reducing ducts, its primary purpose is to make the duct system easier to balance when we go to commission the system. And that’s usually a surprise to most people, but that’s the way I see it.
