Description
Electric-powered attic vents use a thermostat to fight heat and a humidistat control to help prevent moisture buildup inside the attic.
The 1500 CFM High Efficiency Power Fan utilizes an electronically commutated motor (ECM). This “smart motor” is equipped with an on-board computer that has temperature and humidity sensors built in. The fan starts on low and only runs at full speed when needed which saves the homeowner up to 74% in energy savings.
Power savings - variable speed motor runs at reduced speed under moderate attic temperature/humidity conditions. Motor ramps up in speed only as needed maximizing energy efficiency.
Soft start motor - starts up slowly and only ramps up as needed. This provides a quiet start up and reduces wear and tear on the motor.
Prolonged life - slow start, turns off when too hot or when raining, and only runs on high when needed.

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 |

Success Story - ShadowHawk Box Vents for Intake (and HE15 Roof-Mount Power Fan for Exhaust)

“This was a very complicated townhouse reroofing project. There were no eaves for traditional intake ventilation. There were multiple attics. The sloped roof was replaced with synthetic slate. The flat roof areas were reroofed with TPO. Townhouses adjoin on both sides. We used ShadowHawk roof-top box vents for intake and HE15 roof-mount power fans for exhaust. ” – Chris Arrington, vice president, Arrington Roofing Company, Inc.
Editor’s Note: ShadowHawk box vents have a streamlined design to allow them to safely shed water in a rain event when placed low on the roof. They are uniquely engineered to work as either intake (positioned low on the roof) or exhaust (positioned high on the roof). The High Efficiency 15 (HE15) roof-mount power fan has a variable speed motor with an on-board computer chip that monitors the conditions of the attic and adjusts the motor’s output accordingly. It can save homeowners on average up to $60 annually on their electricity bill compared to standard power fans.

“We used ShadowHawk box vents for intake low on the roof and an HE15 roof-mount power vent for exhaust on this re-roof project. The soffits were exposed rafters covered with vinyl siding. In effect, there was no intake ventilation. The ridge vent you see in one picture is a separate attic. We removed two turbines, two power vents and some ridge vent. ” – Chris Arrington, vice president, Arrington Roofing Company, Inc.
Editor’s Note: ShadowHawk box vents are designed to work as either intake (positioned low on the roof) or exhaust (positioned high on the roof). The HE15 roof-mount power fan has a variable speed motor with an on-board computer chip that monitors the conditions of the attic and adjusts the motor’s output accordingly.
