Anco TextraSoft™ have given Anco Products the ability to offer insulated flexible air ducts that lead to credits in Materials & Resources category of U.S.Green Building Council's LEED certification for buildings.
Anco Products Inc., Elkhart, Indiana, a flexible air duct systems manufacturer, now offering the HVAC industry an affordable flexible air duct constructed of recycled materials for LEED certification and other sustainable and environmentally-
The 90% percent recycled insulation around the ducts make the entire assembly 75% recycled content and is available in two models; 1) Anco’s System 4625 (black) ; 2) Anco’s System 5625 (silver).
Specifying Anco System 4625 and/or Anco System 5625 can help add points toward the recycled content-"Materials & Resources" section of the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED Certification program. Because recycled content materials reduces the impact resulting from the extraction and processing of virgin materials, the USGBC awards one LEED point to projects using 90% recycled products.
In addition, all existing Anco Flexible Duct Systems products could indirectly contribute to a project's LEED credits with benefits such as:
• Improved indoor air quality (with GreenGuard Children & Schools Certification);
• Reduced material waste from less packaging;
• Less jobsite waste because Anco Flexible Air Ducts are custom made, thus not requiring the on-site trimming or cutting that's associated with metal ductwork;
• Reduced energy consumption during shipping;
• Lower construction costs from reduced installation costs and less building structural strength requirements due to the fact Anco Flexible Air Ducts are about 75% lighter than metal duct;
• Increased mechanical equipment efficiencies due to better air dispersion;
• Elimination of off-gassing that's associated with metal duct coatings;
"Our full-line of Flex Duct Systems are designed to provide the highest levels of comfort and indoor air quality. "says Richard Butler, Production Supervisor of Anco Flexible Duct Systems.
