1.4 System Venting Requirements
VERY IMPORTANT! - 1 SQUARE FOOT OF NET FREE VENT AREA PER 750 CFM
RECOMMENDED! - 2 TO 4 SQUARE FEET OF INLET VENTS PER FAN
Venting plays a very significant role in the performace of QuietCool fans. QuietCool recommends a minimum of
1 SQ. FT. of venting for every 750 CFM in the QuietCool system. If an attic has at least 1:750 attic venting, the
QuietCool system will operate efficiently and effectively. If an attic has less than 1:750 attic venting, the
system may not operate as efficiently, or effectively, as it could with 1:750 attic venting. But don’t worry, the
system will still operate if there is not enough venting.
Insufficient venting is a very simple problem to fix. Roofing contractors can add extra venting to most homes
simply and easily. The most common types of venting is shown in the chart below.
