Preliminary Investigation on the Use of Exhaust Fans in Dwellings and Their Impact on Energy Balance
Exhaust fans in residential buildings generate energy consumption first by the electricity that they require when operating, but also by extracting heat outside of the building. Nonetheless, these appliances are essential to ensure good indoor air qu...
