Re: Placement of vents in an enclosure

What do you mean by sides. As in the side panels of the enclosure? Why not the back panel?
Heat rises and will be lost out of the top of the enclosure. If the top is solid then the heat goes up to the top and will equalize the static pressure in the enclosure and will maintain the heat better. By sides, I mean the front, back or other walls of the enclosure. Humidity is controlled by the amount of ventilation you have. The more ventilation you have the more the humidity can escape.
