Does anyone know of constant flow vent dampers or trickle vents? What I mean is vents that give similar flow in gentle breeze (or stack driven) and howling gale. I'm constantly adjusting vents as conditions change.
I nearly purchased some humidity controlled trickle vents but was not convinced they would sense the room air.
We have trickle in bedrooms, Baxi heat recover in shower and a stack and big cowl over the cooker with a 3W fan for when cooking. Latter has a Lindab butterfly damper to shut but something flow regulating would be great.
Any ideas?

Constant flow trickle vents are something I have seen several times in european systems, but I have not found an english manufacturer as yet.
Basically as the wind strength gets up, a flexible blade is bent across the opening to resrict the flow.
for an example see: http://projects.bre.co.uk/natvent/reports/monitoring/summary/nl3summ.pdf
Thanks Pete
Interesting.
Bit big to fit a window trickle vent but probably a good idea to do vent separate from window anyway. Ah well next house!
