How to Determine Attic Ventilation Requirements
Calculations for SunRise Solar Fan installations
If you plan on installing a solar fan, you can calculate intake and exhaust requirements using the following guidelines.
1) Determine the fan capacity needed to provide about 10 to 12 air exchanges per hour.
The formula is:
Attic square feet x 0.7 = CFM capacity
For example, an attic that is 30’ x 40’ has 1200sq. ft. of space. Now take the 1200sf and plug it into the formula:
1, 200 sq. ft. x 0.7 = 840 CFM
Note: For roofs with a 7/12 to 10/12 roof pitch, you may want to add 20% more CFM and for roofs 11/12 pitch and higher add 30% more CFM to handle the larger volume of attic space.
2) Next, determine the amount of intake venting required.
The formula is:
CFM rating of fan ÷ 300 = sq. ft. of intake ventilation needed
a) Using our example above, plug 840 CFM into this formula:
840 ÷ 300 = 2.8 square feet of intake ventilation
b) To turn that figure into square inches multiply by 144.
2.8 x 144 = 403 square inches of net free intake area
Use the Net Free Area Table below to find the number of intake vents required for your solar fan.
