Duct sealing is indeed a crucial aspect of maintaining indoor air quality and energy efficiency. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, regulations around building maintenance and environmental standards are stringent to ensure comfort and health for residents.
When ducts nearby your apartment are being sealed, it's understandable that you might be concerned about potential effects on your unit. However, the immediate impact is usually minimal unless there's a direct connection between your systems or if the work is not done correctly. The UAE has specific guidelines to ensure that construction and maintenance activities do not adversely affect neighboring units. These regulations are in place to protect residents' well-being and comfort levels. If you're worried about the duct sealing affecting your apartment, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done. This can help confirm whether any changes might impact your unit's air quality or energy efficiency.
