no kidding? when the builder threw up our 'hood with conditioned crawl spaces it was the first to have such in the area. local inspectors insisted on vents as they didn't trust/understand this new fangled idea. eventually the vents were removed and filled in so the concept could operate properly.
but now i wonder, could there have been more to the story?
but what about a sump pump? our house has one and it would pump the space dry if it were filled in a flood i suppose.
