vented vs unvented crawlspace

[John Dirks Jr]

Hi Folks, Can you please point me to what you think are good articles that debate the pros and cons of vented vs unvented crawlspaces?

[ROBERT YOUNG]

Depends if they/you wish to view the crawl space as a conditioned space or not.

Thanks for the reply Robert. I thought that by design, an unvented crawlspace was required to also be a conditioned space. So in my view, that aspect would be considered in comparing vented vs unvented.
