2. Weatherization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherization

   See Ventilation issues in houses; Installing roofing, building wrap, siding, flashing, skylights or solar tubes and making sure they are in good condition on an existing building. Installing insulation in walls, floors, and ceilings, around ducts and pipes, around water heaters, and near the foundation and sill. Installing storm doors and storm ...

3. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

   When laying a radiant barrier over the insulation on the attic floor, it is possible for dust to accumulate on the top side. Many factors like dust particle size, dust composition and the amount of ventilation in the attic affect how dust accumulates and thus the ultimate performance of a radiant barrier in an attic.

4. Building airtightness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_airtightness

   An airtight building has several positive impacts [3] when combined with an appropriate ventilation system (whether natural, mechanical, or hybrid): [4] Lower heating bills due to less heat loss, with potentially smaller requirements for heating and cooling equipment capacities; Better performing ventilation system

5. Building envelope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_envelope

   Air sealing can improve the energy efficiency of a building by minimizing the amount of energy needed to heat or cool the building. This is especially pertinent in cold-climate buildings where space heating consumes the largest amount of energy. [9] A blower door test can be used to test the quality of the air sealing of the building envelope.

6. Attic fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attic_fan

   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 ...

7. Passive cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_cooling

   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.
