Regional Cooling and Peak-Load Performance of Naturally Ventilated Cavity Walls in Representative U.S. Climate Zones

Architecture
Naturally ventilated cavity walls (VCWs) retrofit conventional cavity walls with vents that enable buoyancy- or wind-driven airflow and reduce cooling loads during summer. When closed, they retain the thermal performance of traditional walls.
