WHO WE ARE
History of the Air Diffusion Council
The Air Diffusion Council has a history of over 35 years of service to the HVAC industry.
Orginally founded in 1961, the Council represented the manufacturers of grilles, registers, diffusers and air terminal boxes.
The ADC's principal activity was to develop, promote and disseminate equipment performance data, testing criteria and industry standards.
Flexible duct manufacturers developed their own special division in 1975 to address their specific and unique needs.
In 1988, the ADC went through a period of reorganization and today the Council exclusively represents the interests of flexible duct manufacturers and suppliers.
The active membership of the Council accounts for over 90% of the total production and sales volume of flexible duct in North America.
The ADC truly speaks for the flexible duct industry!
A current membership directory for both Active Members (flexible duct manufacturers) and Associate Members (suppliers) is included as part of this website.
These member companies stand ready to serve your needs by providing quality products and services.
Mission Statement of the Air Diffusion Council
The purpose for which the Air Diffusion Council was formed, as stated in its Certification of Incorporation, is to promote and further the interests of the manufacturers of air distribution equipment, more specifically, flexible air ducts and related products, and the interests of the general public in the areas of safety, quality, efficiency and energy conservation, and to this end, develop programs approved and supported by the membership that legally promote and further these interests such as:
- To encourage, assist and support the maintenance and development of credible and efficient industry standards for the installation, use and performance of flexible duct products; to promote the use of those standards by various code bodies, government agencies, architects, engineers, heating and air conditioning contractors, etc. so that the best interests of the public may be served.
- To collect and disseminate lawful information of value to members of the Council, the general public and others and to act as a clearing house for all such information, as well as providing a means by which the interests of the individual members of the Council can be protected, defended, supported more vigorously and effectively in legal association with others who share those interests.
