Natural ventilation vs fans?

Is forced ventilation (fans) better than natural ventilation?

I have good natural airflow but considering adding a fan for summer.

Natural is sufficient for most lofts if designed properly.

Fans help if:

  • Very hot climate
  • Overcrowded loft
  • Poor natural airflow design
  • Damp issues

If adding fan, use exhaust (pulling air out) rather than blowing in. Extract stale air from high point, let fresh air enter through low vents.
