We just moved into a 2 year old house in Colorado and there are two LARGE vents installed in the basement that are just open to the exterior. One terminates up near the ceiling and one down near the floor. Our realtor said something about "high/low" ventilation but I can't find any reference to this using google or anywhere else. Does anybody else have this thing and know why it's needed? I'm hoping to insulate the basement to save on heating costs but what's the point if I have two 8" holes in the side of my house letting cold air in? Thanks in advance for any advice!
