How does the Proportional Method work in ductwork balancing?

The Proportional Method is a common approach to ductwork balancing, where each diffuser is adjusted to supply the right percentage of total air volume in the ductwork. This method involves measuring the air flow rates at each diffuser and adjusting the damper or valve to achieve the desired proportion of air flow. The goal is to ensure that each diffuser receives the designed air flow rate, thereby maintaining uniform air distribution throughout the duct system.
