Natural Ventilation
Passive Cooling - Passive cooling refers to
air help to draw in fresh air and circulate it through the home. The fresh air
forces polluted, humid, warmer air into vertical ducts (aka thermal chimneys)
that lead into the attic, where the air is exhausted to the outside. The fresh-air
vents are specially designed to slow down incoming air and disperse it
indoors. An adjustable precision damper within the vent allows the regulation
of airflow, and vents are typically equipped with a filter to screen out dust and
insects. Some fresh-air vents also have acoustical features for masking
outdoor noises from sources such as traffic, airplanes and trains.
