Commercial Building Energy Assessment & Air Duct Leakage Testing In Wilmington, DE, Philadelphia, Springfield, West Chester, Aston, Swarthmore, PA, and Surrounding Areas
Commercial Building Energy Assessment
Air duct leakage testing can pinpoint unresolved issues from your HVAC system. Leaky ducts are a danger to your energy consumption and the health of your tenants. Not only can you be spending on excessive energy consumption, but cracks in your air ducts might be pulling in dust, allergens, and contaminants. Now you have the risk of your building becoming having “sick building syndrome.”
Your commercial building has many elements that go into the overall energy consumption. Of course, air duct leakage testing is part of it. We’re also going to be able to tell your where your commercial building is using energy, losing energy, and could be saving on energy.
A commercial building energy assessment can also be helpful if you have recently acquired a building or have concerns about energy consumption and efficiency. The energy assessment includes a review of energy-consuming systems, leaks, concerns about mold or humidity, age of energy systems, and more. A final report will include the different issues found and our recommendations.

Air Duct Leakage Testing
Here are some of the issues that air duct leakage testing can identify and help rectify:
Increasing energy bills – you know energy bills for commercial buildings fluctuate over the seasons, but you are concerned about going higher and higher each year. Here is an issue that might result from your HVAC system working overtime to transfer heated or cooled air to locations further from the HVAC unit.
HVAC system overload – just as mentioned above, your system might be working overtime to satisfy the needs of locations. In addition, loss of air from air duct leaks and cracks equals less efficiency, which means more work for your HVAC unit and handler.
Extreme temperature differences – this happens when areas from the HVAC unit experience less than desired air. In the summer, tenants might ask why the air isn’t cool and why it isn’t warm during the winter. This is likely from air leaks. You’ll start to notice hot and cold pockets throughout the building where air leaks are worse than in other locations.
Respiratory distress – this is where the sick building syndrome comes in. Cracks in the air duct system are letting contaminants settle in your system and pulling them in with the forced air. As a result, anything in the areas where air ducts are located, including mold, bacteria, humidity, dust, and more, can now find its way into your building.
Any of these issues can increase your energy costs, increase equipment costs, or lose tenants. Air duct leakage testing is a great way to know your air duct conditions and have a handle on the health of your building. Find out more about how commercial air duct sealing works, contact us today!
