The system includes a wall duct system communicated with a gable duct system and discharge at its upper end and an air inlet below ground level such as at the bottom of a basement. The system includes a duct system extending through doors and window assemblies in the external wall of the house or building with the wall duct system being substantially continuous throughout the area of the walls to preclude air migration through the walls. | |
