Insect screening and IPM interfaces
Screens keep pests out; they also cut air. Both effects have to be designed together.
Insect screens on vents and sidewalls reduce chemical use and protect against virus vectors, but every screen costs airflow. The mesh size follows the pest, and the vent area follows the mesh.
We size screens and vents as one system, so the house still ventilates on the design day with the screen in place.
Specification
| Mesh | Selected by pest size and local pressure |
| Placement | Roof vents, sidewalls, door airlocks |
| Trade-off | Airflow loss compensated by additional vent area |
Options and sizes are fixed against the house geometry and the site's design conditions.
