A word on air leakage: Air leakage represents a substantial
operating cost for equipment operators. Leakage occurs in
rooftop equipment in the form of inltration, negative sections
drawing air in, and exltration, positive sections leaking air
out. Both forms of leakage waste energy. Excessive inltration
results in unconditioned and unltered air being supplied to
the building. Excessive exltration is when air that has already
been invested in for ltration and conditioning is lost and not
supplied to the building. In both cases, additional conditioning
above the building loads is required meaning additional
operating load and additional operating expense. Figure 6
shows the average annual operating cost to building operators
due to thermal losses and air leakage by city. Leakage costs
an average of $600 per year in additional operating expenses
and more in high load climates.
Rebel Applied’s low leakage thermally broken casing saves
building operators 90% of the thermal and air leakage costs
(Figure 7).
