Natural ventilation

Natural ventilation is most suited for regions with mild or temperate climates. The system relies on the outside weather conditions and indoor temperature variations to create air exchanges in the barn.

During the spring, summer, and fall, the system relies on sidewall openings to allow for adequate air movement in the barn which can be supplemented with recirculation fans during hot weather. During the winter, minimum air exchanges can be managed through a ridge opening with minimal sidewall openings.

The natural system is restricted to small or mid-sized barns due to the physical limitations of the ventilation principles.
