I wish I had a system like that and have thought about it a lot. I live in Calgary and today will be 28C and it will go down to 12C at night. I wish my system could just run a fan at 7am and draw in a ton of cool air to cool the house. Instead my AC runs for 30 minutes or whatever. Seems like a waste.
- gedy 4y agoI'm working towards that with my Home Assistant installation, using inside and outside thermometers. You can trigger the fan based on the appropriate parameters, time of day, temps, etc.
- noir_lord 4y agoPlanning a similar system for the house we'll be completing on in the next few months. Since we'll be renovating/refreshing the whole house I'll have the opportunity to do stuff I won't be able to do later without much more disruption.
- giarc 4y agoI did a bit of reading after posting my comment and it looks like many HVAC technicians recommend against doing this in a residential setting due to humidity issues. Sounds like most HVAC economizers are for commercial settings.
- gedy 4y agoI'm assuming this applies to high humidity areas? Seems in drier climates this would reduce humidity/mold risks
