MEASURE: Passive stack ventilation

Review of natural ventilation strategy to ensure sufficient ventilation is provided. This strategy uses either air pressure or temperature difference to draw in fresh air (at wall or window vents) and extract stale air to the outside (through passively operated extract terminals located in wet rooms). Windows can be opened for rapid purge ventilation

Monitoring & feedback recommended: Yes
