Structure Ventilation Is Important
While there was extra attention spent on the heating this year, it is also important to remember the ventilation as well. Last year, this system worked out well it will be implemented the same way this year.
There is a Motorized Shutter Kit for 12-60 in. shutters, #1260 Motor that is rigged to a 48” (123cm) aluminum high velocity shutter vent (Specifically: Dayton 48” Backdraft Damper model # 4FZJ2). This is initiated by a thermostat that will open the shutters and also turn on the large 42” (107cm) (Dayton outdoor mobile air circulator) exhaust fan at the same time located on the opposite end of the structure.
Since the goal is to move the most air inside passively there are two of these “intake” shutters installed on the Southern facing end wall and one “exhaust” directly in front of the exhaust fan on the Northern end wall. All three are the same size.
While these move a lot of air the goal was to just move air and not bring in bugs from the outside during the venting process. To do this insect netting was installed.
