Attic Ventilation Protects Your Attic
Problems with Turbine (Wind) Vents
Wind vents are only effective when the wind is moving. | |
Occasional gentle breezes aren’t going to move the hot air and humidity out of your home. |
Powered Solar Ventilation is Far More Effective
A popular retail wind vent ventilator would move just 90m3/hr based on an 8 km/hr wind speed. | |
A powered ventilator can remove hot, humid air at rates up to 2038 m3/hr. | |
That’s about the same amount as 22 wind vents! | |
That means you’d need to cover your roof with wind vents to achieve the same effect as just one powered unit. |

Risks of Poor Ventilation
Most houses have inadequate airflow which causes problems with condensation and moisture buildup, which leads to risks such as:
Dangerous mold growth | |
Insulation deterioration | |
Damage-causing ice dams | |
Damage to roof structure | |
Bugs and animal intruders |
