Ducts in Conditioned Space

This set of photos from the PVRES house demonstrate the main advantage of keeping the air conditioning supply ducts within the conditioned space. Note how the ducts are cooler (darker colors are cooler) than the surrounding ceiling area. The supply register can be seen in the IR photograph in the lower right corner.

The temperature range is from 67°F (darkest colors) to 76°F (lightest colors).
