Natural Ventilation
Natural ventilation utilizes forces of nature like wind and temperature to supply and remove air from a space. It's obvious benefits are that it typically requires no ongoing costs to operate and limited initial investment. However, natural ventilation does not provide a consistent environment inside or do much to align the temperature and humidity to the conditions outside the shelter.
- Bouyancy-driven Ventilation - This is a type of natural ventilation that relies on differences in temperature and air density within the shelter to push warm air up and out through a higher level vent.
- Wind-driven Ventilation - Uses natural breezes to encourage air circulation. When positioned correctly and used in conjunction with one another they create a natural cross flow of air causing the air to circulate.
Windows, vents, doors and wind turbines are all options available from Shelter Works that aid this processes.
Mechanical Ventilation & Climate Control
Mechanical ventilation is a more reliable way to ventilate a shelter when you need consistent results. It uses fans, air conditioners and heaters to force the air to circulate, remove moisture and regulate interior temperature. Mechanical ventilation does have a higher initial cost as well as the higher operating and maintenance costs associated with the equipment.
