Attic Breeze Solar Attic Fans

Attic Breeze Solar Attic Fans Information

*Thermal Switch

Attic Breeze solar attic vents ship standard with a thermal switch included to control the operation of the vent based on the temperature of the attic. The thermal switch minimizes attic heat loss during colder months and extends the run life of the unit. Removal of the thermal switch allows the solar attic fan to be operated continuously, where attic temperature does not control fan operation.

**Mounting Brackets

Attic Breeze solar attic vents featuring remote mounted solar panels ship standard with low profile solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets are not adjustable for the angle or direction of the solar panel and can only be mounted onto your roof. Our universal mounting bracket option allows for several different mounting options and gives full directional and inclination adjustability of the remotely mounted solar panel.
Universal Bracket: This fully adjustable universal mounting bracket allows you to mount your remote solar panel either on a pole, the side of a wall, or on top of your roof. Once mounted, the solar panel can be adjusted to any angle or direction desired.
Standard Bracket: Our standard low profile mounting brackets offer a secure and convenient method for mounting your remote mounted solar panel. These brackets are not adjustable for the angle or direction of the solar panel and can only be mounted on top of your roof.

***Remote Solar Panel

Remote mounted solar panels may be shipped either painted to match the color selection of the attic vent unit or unpainted. The solar panel frames are constructed from corrosion resistant aluminum and offer superior resistance to weathering.
Unpainted Solar Panel: Remote mounted solar panel is shipped unpainted.
Painted Solar Panel: Remote mounted solar panel frame is painted to match attic vent color selection.

How Much Ventilation Does My Attic Need?

In order for any type of attic ventilation to function properly, the air that is exhausted through the attic vent must be replaced by cooler air from outside. This is especially important when using a powered ventilator because the air turnover rate in your attic will be many times greater than that of passive ventilation methods.

The Home Ventilating Institute (www.hvi.org) recommends that powered attic ventilators provide at minimum 10 attic air volume changes per hour. To calculate the recommend amount of ventilation for your home, simply multiply the total square footage of your attic space by 0.70 as indicated in the table below. For particularly dark (black shingles) or steep roofs, HVI recommends multiplying by a factor of 0.80 to calculate your ventilation requirements. See the chart below for examples:

Attic Area (square feet)	Required Airflow (CFM)	Dark/Steep Roofs (CFM)
1,000	700	805
2,000	1,400	1,610
3,000	2,100	2,415

Additionally, HVI recommends a minimum air inlet area of 144 square inches per every 300 CFM of ventilator capacity. For Attic Breeze vents, we choose to exceed this standard and recommend a minimum outside air inlet area of more than twice that of HVI, or about 1600 square inches per a vent unit. We have found that additional air inlet area provides for better performance and reduces the risk of attic depressurization. Our outside air inlet area recommendation translates to approximately 12-13 standard size (16"x8") soffit vents per each solar attic vent.
