Uses round or rectangular trunks for the main supply and return, the ducts remain the same size and can be installed in a crawl space or attic. Used in structures built on concrete slabs, it has a continuous duct embedded in the slab. A number that is used to indicate the ability of insulation to resist the flow of heat. The higher the R-value the better the insulating ability. Each perimeter outlet is fed directly from the supply air plenum. The duct work can be installed in a concrete slab, crawl space or attic.
