Long Summer Over So Quickly
It's already September and my last post was in June. How the time flies when you're working on an old farm house! My wife and I purchased a quaint farm home in lovely Fair Grove Missouri. It sits on 5 acres, on a small rise and has a beautiful view. The original part of the house was built in 1876 and the rest of the main house seems to be in the early 1900's. There was a rear addition more recent. This home had all kinds of IAQ issues with it. We ran one of our Fresh Air units for a while till the major remodeling started with all the dust and debris. We then let the natural ventilation of open windows and fans take care of cooling and getting rid of dirty air. I often wonder how much we would actually waste in energy if we just let our homes breathe?
I plan on designing as much "green" ventilation into our home as possible--from the crawl space to the attic and the living space in between. It seems already the house has a better feel to it after being pretty much open all summer. The winter of course will be a different story--then we will probably need our green air purification technology once again.
I would invite any ideas on attic ventilation to compare to my own designs to get a better idea.
Thanks for reading--till next month.
