Ductwork airtightness, the Glossary
Ductwork airtightness can be defined as the resistance to inward or outward air leakage through the ductwork envelope (or ductwork shell).[1]

Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre
Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) is the International Energy Agency information centre on energy efficient ventilation of buildings. Ductwork airtightness and Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre are energy conservation, low-energy building and ventilation.
See Ductwork airtightness and Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre
ASHRAE 90.1
ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1: Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard published by ASHRAE and jointly sponsored by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) that provides minimum requirements for energy efficient designs for buildings except for low-rise residential buildings (i.e.

Duct (flow)
Ducts are conduits or passages used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) to deliver and remove air.
See Ductwork airtightness and Duct (flow)
Duct leakage testing
A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool designed to measure the airtightness of forced air heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork.
See Ductwork airtightness and Duct leakage testing
Power law
In statistics, a power law is a functional relationship between two quantities, where a relative change in one quantity results in a relative change in the other quantity proportional to a power of the change, independent of the initial size of those quantities: one quantity varies as a power of another.
See Ductwork airtightness and Power law
Testing, adjusting, balancing
In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) are the three major steps used to achieve proper operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
See Ductwork airtightness and Testing, adjusting, balancing
TightVent Europe
TightVent Europe is a platform focused on building and ductwork airtightness issues. Ductwork airtightness and TightVent Europe are energy conservation, low-energy building and ventilation.
