interesting neutral plane concept

12 years ago

Just read few articles about Neutral Plane in a house. It is a new concept to me. It seems the author recommends having a higher Neutral Plane for your house to get a good ventilated home with natural air flows. It will be very simple bying having a outlet as high as possible and having a inlet as lowe as possible. just wondering if it is really work like that?

The "stack effect" is only one of three primary air flow mechanisms at work in a home. And these, in turn, are just some of the determinants of how effective a home keeps damaging moisture at bay.

And contrary to those worshipping Neutral Plane High, "the goal of a design should be near zero flow", according to Building Science Corp.
