SET THREE - ROUND ONE - MATCH ONE

“Device to Root Out Evil” (1997 - Dennis Oppenheim) / “Travelling Light” (2013 - inges dee)

DEVICE TO ROOT OUT EVIL: one of the ONLY pieces of art i convinced my dad specifically to go see, and he thought was powerful in the moment (2 years later he pretended he hated it), there was something oddly visceral about being able to walk around this semi-translucent, semi-holed upside down church that might have just fallen from the sky. (anonymous)

TRAVELLING LIGHT: to go with the other two Calgarian public art installations, the one that is Loathed by the majority of Calgary. Now, Calgary had a portion of the budget set aside for major works for public art. A contest was held for public art installations for the revamp of this interchange. 19 submissions were Canadian, 3 were Calgarian. The winning design was German. If you talk to a Calgarian about the required tithe for public art for all major projects, they will complain about This. Even the mayor, newly elected when it was installed, hated it. People will complain about wasting Millions Of Dollars on some blue circle. (it did not cost millions of dollars) And it doesn't even work. The streetlights turned on, oh, once? Ever? So now it sits, cresting the horizon as you drive towards the airport. Infamy, concentrated. (anonymous)

("Device to Root Out Evil is an art installation created by American conceptual artist Dennis Oppenheim. It is made of aluminum, galvanized steel, Venetian glass, and Plexiglass and measures 6.7 m by 5.5 m by 2.75 m. It is located on 5th St Square in Calgary, Canada and was moved there from Vancouver after public protests.

"Travelling Light" is also an art installation located in Calgary, Canada. It is made of steel and was created by the art collective inges dee. It is 55 ft tall (17 m).)

Top 5 Tips to Choose the Best Ducting System for Your Home or Office

When it comes to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, choosing the right Ducting System is essential for maintaining energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and comfort. A well-designed ducting system ensures that air flows effectively throughout your space while minimizing energy losses. Whether you’re installing a new HVAC system or upgrading an existing one, selecting the right ducting system can make a significant difference in performance and cost.

Here are the top five tips to help you choose the best ducting system for your home or office.

1. Choose the Right Material for Your Ducting System

The material of the ducting system plays a key role in its durability, efficiency, and overall performance. Depending on the specific needs of your home or office, you can choose from various materials:

Galvanized Steel: Known for its strength and resistance to corrosion, galvanized steel is a popular choice for commercial spaces. It provides durability and long-term efficiency.

Aluminum: Lightweight and easy to install, aluminum ducts are often used in residential settings. They are corrosion-resistant and ideal for areas with lower airflow requirements.

Flexible Ducts: Made of plastic and reinforced with a metal coil, flexible ducts are perfect for tight spaces or areas where rigid ducts cannot fit. However, they require careful installation to prevent kinks and airflow restrictions.

Fiberglass-Lined Ducts: These ducts provide insulation and reduce noise but require regular maintenance to prevent mold growth.

Choosing the right material ensures your ducting system lasts longer and works efficiently for your specific needs.

2. Focus on the Size and Design of the Ducting System

The size and design of your ducting system directly impact airflow and HVAC efficiency. Ducts that are too small can restrict airflow, increasing energy consumption, while oversized ducts can lead to uneven air distribution.

Energy Savings: Properly insulated ducts reduce energy consumption, which translates to long-term cost savings.

Make sure your ducting system is adequately insulated to optimize its performance and efficiency.

4. Opt for High-Quality Sealing to Avoid Air Leaks

Air leaks in a ducting system can significantly impact its efficiency, leading to higher energy bills and inconsistent temperatures. Sealing your ducts properly is essential to maintain optimal airflow and prevent leaks.

Check for Leaks: During installation, ensure all joints and connections are tightly sealed. Use high-quality materials like mastic sealant or metal tape for lasting results.

Regular Inspections: Over time, ducts can develop leaks or become loose. Schedule periodic inspections to identify and fix potential problems early.

Efficiency Improvement: Proper sealing not only enhances energy efficiency but also improves air quality by preventing contaminants from entering the ductwork.

By minimizing air leaks, you ensure the ducting system performs at its best.

5. Consider Maintenance Requirements

Choosing a ducting system that is easy to maintain ensures longevity and continued efficiency.

Material Maintenance: Some materials, like flexible ducts, require frequent checks to prevent kinks and blockages, while metal ducts are more durable and easier to clean.

Access Points: Design the duct layout to include access points for regular inspections and cleaning. This helps keep the system free from dust, mold, and debris.

Professional Cleaning: Schedule professional duct cleaning every few years to maintain airflow and indoor air quality.

A well-maintained ducting system will last longer, reduce repair costs, and deliver consistent performance.

Conclusion

Selecting the right ducting system for your home or office is crucial for improving HVAC performance, maintaining energy efficiency, and ensuring a comfortable environment. By focusing on material choice, proper sizing, insulation, sealing, and maintenance, you can invest in a system that works efficiently for years to come.
