8. Upholstered Pieces. While it’s unlikely to forgo upholstered furniture in sunny rooms, fabric deteriorates and fades quickly with harsh light. To avoid uprooting your interior design, you can ...
An attic fan installed underneath a roof. A powered attic ventilator, or attic fan, is a ventilation fan that regulates the heat level of a building's attic by exhausting hot air. A thermostat is used to automatically turn the fan off and on, while sometimes a manual switch is used. An attic fan can be gable mounted or roof mounted. Additional ...
A whole house fan pulls air out of a building and forces it into the attic space or, in the case of homes without attics, through an opening in the roof or an outside wall. This forces air from the living areas into the attic and out through the gable and/or soffit vents, while at the same time drawing air from the outside into the living areas ...
The majority of guidance available for design of heat and smoke building vents installed in buildings is restricted to nonsprinklered, single-story buildings. [4] This is partly a historical consequence of the installation of heat and smoke vents following the August 1953 General Motors, Livonia, MI major fire in a nonsprinklered manufacturing facility which effectively stopped the production ...
Passive cooling covers all natural processes and techniques of heat dissipation and modulation without the use of energy. [1] Some authors consider that minor and simple mechanical systems (e.g. pumps and economizers) can be integrated in passive cooling techniques, as long they are used to enhance the effectiveness of the natural cooling process.

A ridge vent is a type of vent installed at the peak of a sloped roof which allows warm, humid air to escape a building's attic. Ridge vents are most common on shingled residential buildings. Ridge vents are also used in industrial warehouses to help release the hot air and help circulate comfortable air inside the building .
Cats that are cold will curl up in a tight ball to conserve body heat or seek out a patch of sun or a place near a heating vent to sleep.’ Older cats, skinnier ones, and ones with shorter coats ...
Diagramatic operation of a thermal wheel Ljungström Air Preheater by Swedish engineer Fredrik Ljungström (1875–1964). A thermal wheel, also known as a rotary heat exchanger, or rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheel, energy recovery wheel, or heat recovery wheel, is a type of energy recovery heat exchanger positioned within the supply and exhaust air streams of air-handling units or rooftop ...
