There is a silent and deadly pocketbook killer out there - leaky ducts. According to this
article, residential and commercial buildings typically lose about 25-40 percent of heating and cooling energy through leaky ducts and this equates to about $5 billion lost
every year. That's a big chunk of change. Well it looks like the smart folks at
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab have created a novel way to take care of this leaky duct epidemic and help the cause of energy efficiency. They've developed a "mist" that when blown into a pressurized duct system will seal the cracks and holes. Non mas leaky ducts (and empty pocketbooks). Think of this mist as a super
pookie on steroids! Energy-efficiency, like scientists, may not be sexy but it's certainly cool and smart because it will save a big chunk of change in heating and cooling costs. Congrats and a big thank you to those good women and men at Lawrence Berkeley!
This is the reason why building and other big companies use good sealants to prevent leakage and save energy. Anyway, this is a good innovation that will surely save a lot of energy and money all at the same time.
