A second generation airsiphon underfloor system has been designed and 2 examples built for the speculative market, which achieve similar performance at much lower cost than a previous design. Examined are the development of the second generation underfloor system, its construction, control and dampering considerations, and dollar costs, leading to an exploration of its adaptability to the production housing market.
