Hi,
I am designing a solar passive home. The sunspace on south gets heated and I would like to transfer this warm air to another rooms using vents (No forced ventilation). I was thinking of providing a 2 m2 vents between sunspace and one of the rooms. My question is : How much CFM can be pass through a 2 ft2 vent? is there a way to find it out? I apprecaite any ideas/suggestions..
thanks,
MSB

To determine the CFM, you will need energy to overcome the pressure drop.

Where is this energy coming from, stack effect?

 
Yes, that is the intention. The warm air from sunspace will drive the flow..
