<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've been thinking about <STRONG>why</STRONG> has
the mechanical ventilation debate been getting under everyone's skin so much. I
think Robert Riversong's post echoes how I feel about it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir=ltr><EM>"what we now think of as a house has
evolved from simple shelter to a highly-engineered machine that requires
"operation" by its occupants in order to maintain a comfortable and healthy
indoor environment</EM>."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>John Straube made the point that we are all happy
to use electricity for our fridges and computers, so why not our mechanical
ventilation systems? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We don't, in fact, have a fridge. We wanted to
prove we didn't need one with what I like to call "Granny Wisdom". So much of my
grandparents' generation worked in harmony with their enviroment and put the
available local resources to work in ingenious ways. So we have a stone lined
cupboard buried in a north facing cob wall, with a series of vents at the back.
We have simple 90 degree plumbing elbows attached to the vents, which we
manually rotate to capture the optimum flow of air (although, to be honest
- we only need to worry about that for a few days in the summer). Now, this
might not work in California, but it works perfectly in Ireland (our local
environment). We have never had a problem with soured milk or spoiled food.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>"That we need mechanical ventilation in our homes today is a result of
our need for increasing amounts of insulation which is the result of our
increasing population and increasing demand for energy, which is in part a
result of our ever-growing sense of need for consumption, comfort and control,
which is a result of a mindset or cultural paradigm that is based on the myth of
progress and a blind faith in technological "solutions" to problems created by
the last generation of technological "solutions". -</EM> <FONT size=2
face=Arial>Robert Riversong</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We are now starting to design/create houses
that <U>must</U> be mechanised in order to be safely occupied. </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Arial>If my electric oven doesn't work in a power cut, I can cook
food on my gas stove-top or I can barbeque. If my lights don't work, I can use
candles. If I can't heat my hot water, it's inconvenient - but it will not
compromise my health. However, if my mechanical venitlation unit fails for a
period of time, then my health will be compromised.
My <EM><STRONG>shelter</STRONG></EM> becomes a hostile environment. This is
a significant line to cross.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I accept that many of the old leaky houses
also had health problems associated with them - damp, spores, toxic
mould.</FONT> <FONT size=2 face=Arial>The issues causing many of these
problems were not understood at the time these buildings were built. However, we
are now seeking to design buildings that we <EM><STRONG>know</STRONG></EM> will
be unhealthy if one component is not properly used, serviced or fails. And human
nature being human nature, this component is likely not to be serviced or
properly used. I have heard of plenty of people having their system running on
the wrong setting, or turning it off altogether. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>One of things that excites me most about natural
building materials is that they accept nature and work in harmony with it. They
don't try to combat it. They get wet, but they can dry out again. But building
an environment that can become poisonous for its occupants unless
certain technology has been installed and is regularly
serviced (technology that requires expertise to install/repair beyond that
possessed by the average homeowner) seems to jar with many of the philosophies
behind natural building.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>"We have come to substitute control for adaptation, which was the
driving force for biological and cultural evolution for 3.5 billion years on
Earth."-</EM> <FONT size=2 face=Arial>Robert Riversong</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I grew up in a country where air-conditioning was
unheard of. Maybe, if some of you have grown-up with air-conditioning, it seems
like a progressive step to make much more efficient climate control units. But
for me, crossing this line causes me concern.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Have we gone so far that it is too much to expect
our clients to wear an extra jumper in winter? Maybe we have. But I'd like to
see a bit more Granny Wisdom in the world again.</FONT></DIV>
