Energy savings are good for the environment, and customised textile duct systems instead of traditional ducting and diffuser systems can help with that. When designed correctly the textile ducts enable air handling units to run at a lower external static pressure.
An example of this is a retrofit done in an office building in Singapore. Here the existing traditional duct system with diffusers was discarded and replaced by textile ducts operating with the same air handling units.
A comparison between the traditional duct system with diffusers and the textile duct system is listed below, showing the annual energy savings in the office area after changing to textile ducts.
