Solving Problems
An attached or tuck under garage can be the source of carbon monoxide and other pollutants entering a house. Building cavity returns and exhaust ventilation can exacerbate this connection. Pulling air out of the garage can cause combustion appliances in the house or garage to backdraft. Rooms over garages often have comfort problems and more severe indoor air problems. Apply "House as a System" thinking to develop solutions for several attached garage case studies.
By attending this session, participants will
- Learn to apply building science principles and identify why the problem exists
- Find out what the latest research is telling us about indoor air quality and attached garages
- Learn to measure and find the airflow between a garage and a house
- Recognize that there is no single answer to resolve the "Garage Connection"
