Straw Bale Venting System
Active system to use on strawbale. When using a interior vapour barrier a constant flow of air on the bales will assure low moisture content. In cold climates it's the different tempratures that meet in a thermal mass like insulation. Phase change occurs in the h2o molecules or condensation.This is why the vapour barrier is so important,because moisture from the interior should not be allowed in the thermal mass. The condensation forming from the differental temprature will be closer to the exterior. With air constantly moving over the bales moisture should not accumulate. Any imput is welcome on this subject.
