Joto-Vent System
The Joto-Vent System® is a method for crawl space ventilation that is modeled after Japan’s traditional construction method.
Japan is haunted by many earthquakes, and has a climate that is hot and humid in summer and cold in winter. Therefore, houses are designed with a focus on good ventilation and comfort in summer. Before modern times, most houses were light wooden constructed buildings built in the post and beam method, and which are highly earthquake-resistant. This building method along with good ventilation throughout the house the crawl spaces under the floor and in the attic contributes to the houses being highly durable by keeping the wooden frame dry and preventing their deterioration. Also, it increases the houses earthquake resistance by protecting the wooden frame against insects and rot.
