Definition

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that heating and cooling ducts located in unconditioned spaces such as attics and garages can underperform by 60-75 percent. Exterior ducts that are properly insulated can save energy and reduce overall equipment sizing. Insulation standards are clearly defined at https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/insulation.
