Berkeley Lab Duct Sealing Innovation Saves Energy in Buildings Around the World
Fixing leaky heating and cooling ducts in buildings can be an expensive, labor-intensive process. Yet doing so can save significant amounts of energy. According to the Department of Energy, homes and buildings consume 40% of the nation’s energy, but an average of 30% of this energy is wasted. This wasted energy is largely due to air lost from small leaks in heating and cooling … [Read more...] about Berkeley Lab Duct Sealing Innovation Saves Energy in Buildings Around the World
