Abstract
This report contains the proceedings of the Summer Attic and Whole-House Ventilation Workshop. The purpose of the Workshop was to provide a forum for technical discussion to assess summer energy savings that might be achieved from the use of static and powered attic ventilation and whole-house ventilation equipment. Papers on experimental and mathematical model studies relating to attic and whole-house ventilation were presented. In addition, a paper on roof solar absorbtance and its effect on the cooling requirement of a residence was presented.
