How do I improve my home's natural ventilation?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Open windows on opposite sides of your home to create cross ventilation. Install operable windows in key rooms. Use window fans to pull fresh air in or push stale air out. Consider a whole-house fan installed in the attic, which pulls cool outdoor air through open windows and exhausts hot air through the attic. Make sure attic vents are clear and functioning properly for passive ventilation.
Why It Matters
Natural ventilation reduces reliance on mechanical cooling, lowers energy bills, and brings fresh outdoor air into your home.
