The industry likes the term &ldquo;vent-free&rdquo; when talking about gas fireplaces that keep all the exhaust gases in your home. I prefer the term &ldquo;ventless&rdquo; or, even better, &ldquo;unvented.&rdquo; Some people suggest &ldquo;room-vented&rdquo; or &ldquo;lung-vented.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Not a huge deal, but the ventless gas industry wants you to feel that you&#8217;re being liberated of a burden by not having an exhaust vent. I think it&#8217;s important for people to know that they&#8217;re actually missing something important when they go with a ventless gas appliance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[7804,8205,8206,2482,5188,8207,8208,8209],"class_list":["post-7498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-green-building-posts","tag-combustion-safety","tag-fireplace","tag-gas-fireplace","tag-indoor-air-quality","tag-space-heater","tag-unvented","tag-vent-free","tag-ventless"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7498\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leedpoints.com\/green-building-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
