Passive environmental control

Susie Clark asked about possible automatic controls for vents in a
proposed insulated store.  A similar system was installed by
architects in the sports and community hall at Woolfardisworthy
(pronounced Woolsery) in Devon, although it was controlled by carbon
dioxide levels rather than a thermostat.  Greenhouses frequently use
thermostats to control vents, so the systems are quite common.
