Broan Ventilation Fans—Attic
Push the heat out. Pull a fresh breeze through.
Too often, attic ventilation is
overlooked, not to mention ignored
as a place for energy savings. That’s
where Broan solutions make sense.
Consider this: air trapped in your
attic can easily reach 150˚ or more.
With Broan ventilation solutions, it’s
still a full 60˚ cooler in the attic on a
90˚ day. That’s why attic ventilation
is critical to making any home more
comfortable while lowering energy
costs. Air-conditioners can run less and
won’t have to work as hard. Humid,
stagnant air can be removed, drawing
fresh dry air across the surfaces. Your
attic can be drier and cooler—the
perfect tools to help fight potential
moisture damage.
How to calculate the pitch of your roof
PITCH is the angle of your roof, or the RISE in feet
for every 12 feet of RUN. Pitch is determined by
measuring the height of the attic (in feet) at a point
that is 12 feet from where the roof rafters and the
attic floor joists meet.
Example: 8/12 Roof Pitch
A roof that is 8 feet high at a point 12 feet
from where the roof rafters meet the
ceiling joists has a pitch of 8/12.
