Despite this assessment, the condensate trap remains the choice of many architects and engineers as a means of condensate drainage control. This choice, unfortunately, deprives your clients of high-performance buildings and any hope of reaching the level of truly "sustainable green buildings." Some of the many trap failure modes identified by ASHRAE are illustrated in Figure 1. These failure modes, which occur frequently, allow condensate blowing and flooding as presented-causing property damage and air contamination. Since all the air in a building passes through the air conditioning unit at a rate of several times per hour, the circulated health-threatening pathogens inevitably expose occupants to degraded indoor air quality, as indicated in Figure 2... Specifying condensate drain systems with the CostGard™ Condensate Drain Seal can be as simple or formal as the designer desires.
