Power Attic Ventilators
HOW TO SIZE POWER VENTS?
Power vents are rated in CFM—cubic feet of air moved per minute. The higher the CFM, the more powerful the vent and the more air exchanges per hour it provides. To determine the minimum CFM required, multiply the attic square footage by 0.7. For example:
1500 square feet x 0.7 = 1050 CFM
Thus, a fan rated at least 1050 CFM is needed.
HOW MUCH INTAKE VENTILATION?
Just like any exhaust vent power vents need intake airflow to perform properly. To calculate how much intake the power vent needs simply divide the fan's CFM capacity by 300 and then convert that number to square inches.
| CFM of Power Vent 300 |
= | Square feet of intake net free area needed |
x | 144 | = | Square inches of intake net free area needed |
|
| For example: | |||||||
| 1050 CFM 300 |
= | 3.5 Square feet of intake net free area needed |
x | 144 | = | 504 Square inches of intake net free area needed |
