I've learned a lot about US climates and their notion of ventilation, here at the comments I got.
I hope you guys also have found interesting that, in some other parts of the globe, ventilation and air cooling are two very interconnected concepts. And also that, in climates like ours, relying solely on AC while not taking advantage of the cooling properties of moving air masses means waste of energy.
- bluGill 5y agoMost of western Europe (the part most in Europe reading this are from ) have mild climates compared to the US. Of course the US is a large country, and so there are more climates in discussion. What works well in Europe often doesn't in the US. Of course one size fits all codes don't help. What works well in Europe will work someplace in the US, just not everywhere
