This paper describes a framework for a figure of merit by which the energy performance of thermal energy distribution systems (e.g., duct systems) in residences could be characterized. The proposed figure of merit is designed to be incorporated into design guides, state energy codes and/or utility DSM programs.
A comprehensive yardstick for residential thermal distribution efficiency.
