-
EcoDuct is a lightweight, low-carbon HVAC ductwork system that combines duct structure and thermal insulation into a single integrated product. Unlike traditional galvanised steel ductwork, which requires separate insulation, EcoDuct reduces material use, speeds installation, and lowers overall environmental impact while delivering efficient air distribution.
-
EcoDuct supports sustainable construction and retrofit projects by reducing embodied carbon, material consumption, transport requirements, and site waste. These benefits help projects align with Net Zero carbon strategies and support environmental certification schemes such as NABERS UK, BREEAM, and LEED.m description
-
Compared to traditional steel ductwork, EcoDuct is significantly lighter, faster to install, and lower in embodied carbon because it eliminates the need for separate insulation layers. This reduces labour, transport loads, programme time, and waste generation while maintaining strong thermal performance.escription
-
Yes, EcoDuct is particularly suited to retrofit and refurbishment projects because its lightweight construction and integrated insulation simplify handling and installation in confined or occupied spaces. This reduces disruption, speeds programme delivery, and helps overcome structural or access limitations.
-
EcoDuct reduces installation time by combining insulation and ductwork into a single system, removing the need for separate insulation stages and additional fixings. This streamlined process reduces labour requirements and supports faster project completion.
-
EcoDuct delivers measurable sustainability benefits by reducing embodied carbon, lowering material use, minimizing transport emissions, and reducing construction waste. These advantages support ESG targets, sustainability reporting, and long-term environmental performance goals.
-
Yes, EcoDuct improves operational energy efficiency through integrated insulation that reduces heat loss and maintains consistent air temperatures. This supports improved HVAC system performance and contributes to better energy efficiency outcomes over the life of the building.
-
Yes, EcoDuct is designed to meet recognised HVAC performance and safety standards, including fire performance and system durability requirements. Technical documentation and performance data are available to support specification, compliance, and project approvals.
-
EcoDuct is suitable for a wide range of commercial and public-sector buildings, including offices, healthcare facilities, schools, hotels, and industrial projects. It is particularly effective in developments targeting low-carbon design, retrofit upgrades, and high environmental performance.
-
EcoDuct provides environmental, programme, and cost advantages by delivering lower carbon impact, faster installation, reduced labour, and lighter handling compared to traditional ductwork. These combined benefits make it a strong solution for projects focused on sustainability, efficiency, and reliable delivery.
-
EcoDuct supports Net Zero and decarbonisation strategies by reducing both embodied carbon during construction and operational energy losses during building use. This makes it particularly valuable for estate decarbonisation programmes, retrofit projects, and Net Zero-aligned developments.
-
Yes, EcoDuct ductwork systems can be fabricated into virtually all standard duct section types, including rectangular, circular, flat oval, bends, offsets, attenuator connections, plenums, and bespoke fittings required for complex HVAC layouts. Using precision fabrication methods, EcoDuct can be produced to match conventional duct geometries while maintaining integrated insulation and lightweight performance, ensuring compatibility with standard HVAC design practices and enabling seamless substitution for traditional steel ductwork in both new-build and retrofit applications.
