I do not do well when it's hot. Here that's about 70 F.

I grew up with area fans, and our big improvement was a window fan which cooled the whole house, some days circulating only hot air but at least moving air.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-60771455203601427162013-08-08T15:00:28.357-05:002013-08-08T15:00:28.357-05:00Passive house design, done properly, means bringin...Passive house design, done properly, means bringing the exchange of air with the outside under control, not eliminating it. The point is to capture up to 80% of the heat that would otherwise be lost by using heat recovery ventilation. Not at all 'stuffy' when done right, but highly efficient. There's a lot more to energy efficient house design than just sealing up all the air leaks.<br /><br /><br /><br />enonzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728932880784370109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-10037533491943274422013-08-08T13:02:27.584-05:002013-08-08T13:02:27.584-05:00It's all those sealed in pollutants I was thin...It's all those sealed in pollutants I was thinking about, too. In the '90's, the talk was all about "off-gassing" from materials used to make homes: paint, solvents, foams, sealants, what have you.<br /><br />And there was "Legionnaire's disease" and "sick building syndrome."<br /><br />The idea of a super-sealed up building is kind of disconcerting.Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-82320832499255850342013-08-08T12:53:43.135-05:002013-08-08T12:53:43.135-05:00"My grandparents would have called it "s..."My grandparents would have called it "stuffy.""<br /><br />And, back in the day when I worked for A Certain Air Conditioning Company, our engineers would have called it "indoor air polution." It was pretty much a given that, however bad the air quality outside, the inside air, at least in an energy-efficient house, would be much worse, because you start with the already-dirty air and then don't allow any circulation. Kind of like bathing in the same tub of water all summer.<br /><br />It's funny that my dad, who spent most of my childhood traveling by car for a living, never liked auto air conditioning, when it became common in the sixties. He always preferred what he called "fresh air," with the windows down. <br /><br />rick allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612435616018593956noreply@blogger.com
