Hello,
(I originally posted the following under Ventilation, but since I haven't received any response there, I'm trying here instead).
In another thread, I write about my renovation, where I'm going to build a new lecablock wall inside the existing timber-framed wall:
https://www.byggahus.se/forum/threa...ligt-korsvirkeshus.484111/page-2#post-5514853
At the gable, the air gap between the walls goes all the way up to the ridge, but on the short long sides, it transitions to the air gap between the tongue and groove and the masonite, where it finally opens into a triangular space above the insulation/under the ridge.
I plan to install a vent at the very top of the gable (1. in the gable section image), just below the ridge. At the bottom of the old timber-framed wall, I plan to insert some vents to allow air from outside to enter. I hope that air will travel up along the walls and under the tongue and groove, to then be ventilated out at the top of the gable.
Attached images include a section of the gable and a section of the wall.
Now I would like to know what you think of my plan?
Do you think a fan would be needed at the top of the gable to extract air?
(I'm creating another thread where I plan to ask about room ventilation.)
Regards,
Mats
