The Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) industry is in the midst of a dynamic era. However, air ducting, a critical component of HVAC system, has remained virtually unchanged since the early 1900's. Several factors and recent innovations have introduced the need to revolutionise air ducting. Building materials and insulating products have dramatically improved. Requirements for clean air are becoming increasingly stringent. Energy costs have continued to escalate. Changing fire and smoke codes have raised the standards for compliance. Finally, declining construction on a global basis has intensified competition, and accordingly, the search for an alternative technology.
