Troy context
Duct layouts in Troy vary by construction era: original ductwork from the 1960s-70s subdivision boom, retrofits added as those homes aged, and newer runs built into office and retail construction that followed the Somerset Mall's 1969 opening. Indoor air planning should start by confirming which era a given duct run actually belongs to.
