Abstract
A passive vent balances the competing demands of high airflow and security against intrusion of unwanted debris, precipitation and pests. The vent sits proud of the tiles in its course, and protrudes forwardly over the tiles in the course below, such that a large airflow volume is provided. Vents are positioned and configured to prevent pest incursion, precipitation ingress, and debris buildup
