SolarAttic Ridge VentilatorTM <br /> <br />Description of Product <br /> <br />The SolarAttic Ridge Ventilator is designed for <br />controlled ventilation of the attic. It can also be <br />used to collect attic heat and to redistribute this <br />"eat to another location. Unlike simple roof <br />.ans, the ridge ventilator provides a "systems <br />solution" to the problems encountered in attics. <br />It does this by using a patented custom duct <br />technology that allows for the even collection <br />of heat along its length. SolarAttic invented <br />and owns this new technology. Now, for the <br />first time in history, ventilation of the attic is no <br />longer a guess. The ridge ventilator eliminates <br />the need for roof based passive vents (holes). <br /> <br />The above photos are taken from the installation in the new Energy City Home <br />located at 20898 Hoover Street NW in Elk River, Minnesota 55330.

As an alternative, the <br />humidistat can be set to the on position and the <br />ventilator would then simply vent the attic any <br />time the temperature is below 40°F. When the <br />attic reaches 70°F, the humdistat is disengaged. <br />Ventilation, then, only occurs when the attic <br />temp exceeds 90-105 °F setting (adjustable.) <br />This provides you with fully automated winter <br />and summer ventilation. <br /> <br /> <br />
