HVAC Retrofit: Fixing Duct Leaks In Commercial Buildings

In contrast to residences, standards dealing with duct leakage in commercial buildings have existed for many years (e.g., SMACNAs HVAC Air Duct Leakage Test Manual [1985]). However, duct leakage is common in certain types of commercial buildings, and in certain system components. Unfortunately, these problems have had little attention.
