Greetings, recently bought a new build home in the Phoenix area. Small 2.5ish car garage. Its a relatively sealed home so efficency is quite high. Which brings me to my garage. Its entirely sealed up. No ventilation whatsoever. Traditionally, in every other home ive been in here in AZ the garage usually has one or two vents on the outside wall for circulation. But my garage does not. Sealed (as much as it can be) and insulated door, no vents to the attic or exterior. This makes me think this is part of some effeciency standard that im unfamiliar with and i havent been able to find much about it.
Anyone know anything about efficiency standards and why this may be? I ask mainly because in the past growing up, adding a vent on the ceiling, with a fan, drastically reduced temps inside quite quickly (even with two hot vehicles in the evening, whereas now with it being sealed, its still quite warm the next morning when i hop into my truck after i parked it the afternoon prior.
