Heating and cooling potential of roof space air: implications for ventilation systems
Research and reports
12 May 2011
This report outlines research conducted by the University of Otago which looks at the heating and cooling potential of moving roof space air into a home's living areas, as the most common type of home ventilation system does.
The report recommends that this type of ventilation system - known as a "positive pressure" or "roof cavity" system - is not promoted or installed based on potential heating or cooling benefits.
EECA was a part-funder of this Otago University research report.
