This leaflet concentrates on natural ventilation as it applies to warm housing, that is buildings that are temperature controlled in cold weather. It does not cover cold or modified environment barns where inside temperature is at or slightly above outside temperature. During the summer, natural ventilation depends primarily upon wind forces since inside/outside temperature differences are small. Successful design of sidewall and ridge openings and proper use of control systems therefore require a good understanding particularly of wind effects.
