Event spaces like these, used for meetings, gatherings, and donor events, require <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabricair.com\/us\/products\/fabric-air-ducts\/\">air distribution systems<\/a> that meet both functional and aesthetic criteria. The decision to remove the outdated metallic system was driven by three primary concerns: sound, looks, and performance.<\/p>\n<h2>Addressing Acoustic Challenges with Fabric<\/h2>\n<p>One of the key issues with the existing metal ductwork was its tendency to transfer noise generated by the HVAC unit throughout the space. This distracting noise diverted attention and could disrupt talks and presentations. In response, the school chose FabricAir\u2019s fabric ducts, which diminish sound transfer ensuring a quieter space.<\/p>\n<h2>Improved Aesthetics for a Modern Space<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from the acoustic benefits, the old metal ducts didn&#8217;t align well with the modern look and feel of the space. The white ducts coordinated with the room&#8217;s existing interior design providing a seamless look in the elegant space. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabricair.com\/us\/products\/fabric-air-ducts\/duct-profiles\/internal-360-hoops\/\">360\u00b0 internal hoops<\/a> mounted in the fabric ductwork ensure that the ducts remain open to ensure a consistent look even when the HVAC system is off. Additionally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabricair.com\/us\/products\/fabric-air-ducts\/fabrics\/combi-20\/\">Combi 20 fabric<\/a> comes with a 5 year warranty, is Oeko-Tex 100 certified, permeable, and flame-retardant.<\/p>\n<h2>Solving Draft Issues with Precise Airflow<\/h2>\n<p>The airflow from the existing system was uneven, causing uncomfortable drafty spots throughout the space. FabricAir engineers utilized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabricair.com\/us\/products\/fabric-air-ducts\/flow-models\/oriflow\/\">OriFlow<\/a>, a directional airflow model engineered with specialized jet holes arranged in specific patterns to address the drafts. The custom-engineered system uses larger laser-cut holes at the 3 o&#8217;clock and 9 o&#8217;clock positions, which provide a wider, more even distribution of air, and smaller holes towards 4 o&#8217;clock and 8 o\u2019clock for better mixing. This flow model resolved the uneven airflow problem without causing drafts, ensuring even temperature distribution across the room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With these modifications, the event space at Loganville Christian Academy now operates more quietly, offers a cohesive appearance, and maintains comfortable conditions for students, donors, and community members alike. \u00a0With these updates, Loganville Christian Academy&#8217;s event space now offers an environment that is quieter, more comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing for guests and staff. The efficiency of the new system helps maintain high performance and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabricair.com\/us\/blogs\/achieving-40-energy-savings-with-fabric-ducts-instead-of-metal\/\">energy efficiency<\/a>, while the fabric ducts enhance the look and feel of the space. The project illustrates how fabric ducting can balance acoustic, aesthetic, and performance demands, offering an alternative that meets all of the HVAC design challenges faced by spaces like these.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Additional Information<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabricair.com\/us\/blogs\/achieving-40-energy-savings-with-fabric-ducts-instead-of-metal\/\">Achieving 40% Energy Savings with Fabric Ducts Instead of Metal<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabricair.com\/us\/faqs\/#tabs-4\">FAQs: Installing Fabric Ducts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">Cloth ducting, cloth ductwork, sock duct, duct sock, fabric air duct sock, air sock duct<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A school event space replaced their noisy, unattractive metal ductwork with fabric ducting. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9289,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-9288","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
