Attic Kylix Foot by Pamphaios   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) The inscription around the foot, Pamphaios made me, attests that Pamphaios potted this kylix, which was painted by another artist. Pamphaios is associated with the workshop of Nikosthenes. Although what remains of the interior is fl, it is not certain whether the Ackland kylix is fl figure, red figure, or plain fl glaze because in the late 6th century B.C. all three techniques were used. www.unc.edu /courses/2001fall/art/358/001/students/meyers/pamphaioskylix.htm   (141 words)

Air Vent: Troubleshooting Tips Air Vent recommends 1 square foot of attic ventilation for every 150 square feet of attic floor space divided evenly between intake vents at the overhang or undereave and exhaust vents at or near the peak of the roof. Attic ventilation is meant to protect the roof sheathing, insulation and shingles from temperature and moisture extremes. Calculate the unobstructed airflow of all the vents in your attic, whether it is a ridge vent, gable vents or undereave vents. www.airvent.com /professional/resources/troubleshooting.shtml   (2506 words)

About Saving Heat - Attic Retrofitting Attic ventilation should efficiently release the summer heat and the winter cold and moisture. Fortunately, attics are one of the easiest areas to insulate, and the least expensive area to add high R-value (heat resistance values) of R-30 to R-40 insulation. Attics can have hidden air ways and heat transfer conduits - highways for heat and vapor - that need to be taken care of before the attic is insulated. www.aboutsavingheat.com /attic.html   (822 words)

Natural Home Lite - Solar Star Attic Fans by Solatube Reducing the temperature in your attic reduces the temperature of the sheathing and prolongs the life of the shingles on the roof. As the temperature in the attic rises, the air in the attic begins to rise and escapes through exhaust vents located in the ridge or near ridge of the roof. The net free ventilation required for the attic space should be divided equally between intake and exhaust vents, otherwise the system performs to the lesser of the two. www.naturalhomelite.com /atticfans.html   (1198 words)

Attic Ventilation Attic temperature depends on the amount of solar radiation, construction details and the rate of ventilation. Winter attic ventilation must be sufficient to remove moisture vapor moving from the living space to the attic. The net area of attic outlets should be 1/800th of the rated fan volume in cfm and 1/8 inch static pressure. www.factsfacts.com /MyHomeRepair/ventilation.htm   (1292 words)

Roof Ventilation - Information about venting your roof space Proper attic ventilation extends the life of a roof and reduces problems because it minimizes the temperature differential between the attic and the air outside. Condensation that forms inside attics can be caused by the use of washing machines, dish washers, bath tubs, showers, and tumble driers unless these items are properly ventilated through the roof. Most attic vents are measured by square inches so we need to convert the 7.5 square feet to square inches. www.roofhelp.com /ventilation_main.htm   (1493 words)

Solar-powered attic ventilation? Cool! Effective attic ventilation provides year-round benefits, adding comfort by reducing heat and moisture in the attic, and helping to reduce energy consumption. The key to attic ventilation is creating a steady flow of air throughout the attic. Circulation is created with intake vents placed low in the attic and exhaust vents near the peak of the roof. homes.gmnews.com /news/2003/0501/Tips/007.html   (435 words)

Attic Fans An attic fan or whole house fan provide a ready means of dispelling this heat, and not only that, it draws gentle breezes throughout the house whenever and wherever the home owner wants them. With an attic fan, the calm breezeless nights which weather bureau records prove to be the rule in many sections of the country, hold no threat of discomfort, no risk of tossing, sleepless nights. During the winter months, the attic fan may be operated when needed to exhaust cigarette smoke or unpleasant cooking odors from the house. www.brownelectricinc.com /atticfans.htm   (1634 words)

Early Reports Dividing the width of the Parthenon by 100, they inferred that the Attic foot was 12.137 English inches, being 25/24 of a Roman foot of 11.651 inches. One group continued to assume that the front of the Parthenon measured 100 Attic feet and increased accordingly the estimated length of the Attic foot and Roman foot, in spite of the evidence provided by hundreds of other sources, throwing thereby into confusion the study of ancient weights and volumes. This limit is indicated by their statement that the Roman foot is 11.651 inches, whereas calculating exactly 24/25 of 12.137 are 11.6515200 inches, or 295.9484 mm. www.metrum.org /key/athens/early.htm   (2301 words)

On The House with the Carey Bros. Home Repair and Home Improvement Tips. -> Cool Off and Save With an Attic Fan Attic fans are usually installed in the roof or at a gable at one end of the attic, if one exists. While the attic fan does use some electricity, the amount is a fraction of what is saved by easing the burden on the air conditioner. Attic fans are rated by the cubic foot of air moved per minute (CFM). www.onthehouse.com /print.php?short_name=wp&article_date=19920720   (816 words)

Francis Penrose Since it was found impossible to reckon the proportions of the Parthenon by the Attic foot, one began to speak of the ”secret” of the Parthenon and to search for a mysterious ”key” that would unlock the recipe of Grecian esthetic perfection. Scholars expected that the foot used as the basis of the official system of weights and measures would be the one used by architects. One of the major dimensions, either the width or the height, is almost always a foot or a cubit, or, when unavoidable, because of the general size of the vase, a simple multiple or submultiple of the foot or cubit, but all possible modules of foot or cubit are used. www.metrum.org /key/athens/francis.htm   (3824 words)

Facts #15 - Achieving Expected Thermal Performance (BI461) Laboratory tests were conducted under controlled conditions on a 14 x 20 foot attic section in one of the most sophisticated test chambers in the world. Six tests were conducted on the assembly with the temperature differential ranging from 50 to 75 degrees F on the inside to the attic. Both actual attic thermal research and ASHRAE calculations indicated that, to achieve expected thermal performance, open attic applications need standard, full-width batts which are designed to cover the ceiling joists or bottom chords of roof trusses. www.naima.org /pages/resources/library/html/BI461.HTML   (1039 words)

Technical Evaluation of the HV1000 Whole House Cooling Fan Powered ventilation: Attic fans are roof or gable mounted fans that draw air out of the attic, relying on passive vents to supply cooler outside air to replenish the air being exhausted. Whole house fans are mounted in the attic floor pushing house air out through the passive attic vents and bringing cooler air into the living space through the windows. The greater the air flow generated by the whole house fan the greater the area of the passive attic vents must be to relieve the attic pressure. www.tamtech.com /hvtecheval.htm   (1656 words)

Headrick Building Products - Comparison of ridge vent performance backed by independent lab reports.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) Enclosed attics and enclosed rafter spaces formed where ceilings are applied directly to the underside of roof rafters shall have cross ventilation for each separate space by ventilating openings protected against the entrance of rain or snow. The code prescribes that the square feet of NFA of the ventilation installed should be 1 square foot of ventilation NFA per square foot of attic floor. The practice of specifying attic ventilation requirements in terms of ratios of net free ventilating area to attic floor space has been traced by Bill Rose at the University of Illinois. www.headrick.net /buildcode.html   (2360 words)

Solar Attic Swimming Pool Heater Is now heating pools in 33 states for as little as $10 per month by using hot attic ... Solar Attic Swimming Pool Heater Is now heating pools in 33 states for as little as $10 per month by using hot attic air. The roof functions as a massive "solar collector." Solar radiation reaches the attic through a process called "conduction." The attic functions as a storage and heat transfer area. When the attic is eight degrees hotter than the pool and the pool needs heat, the LX220 automatically routes water up to the PCS1 and turns it on. www.solarattic.com /pcs1.htm   (331 words)

All Star Exteriors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) Proper Attic Ventilation Proper attic ventilation systems allow a continuous flow of outside air through the attic (see illustration at left), protecting the efficiency of the insulation and helping to lower temperatures in the living space. The FHA (Federal Housing Administration) recommends a minimum of at least 1 square foot of attic ventilation (both intake and exhaust) for every 300 square feet of attic space. For example, if your attic is 900 square feet, you need a total of 3 square feet of ventilation. www.allstarext.com /attic.html   (232 words)

ATAS :: What is Adequate Ventilation? A general rule of thumb is a free ventilation area of 1/300 of the horizontal area or slightly less than 1/2 square inch of vent area for each square foot of attic floor. Proper attic ventilation ensures a cooler attic in summer and a dryer attic in winter. It brings ventilation across the underside of the roof sheathing, where it has maximum effect in reducing radiation of heat to the attic floor during the summer and preventing condensation in the winter. www.atas.com /ventedridge   (345 words)

Attic and Wall Insulation Qualifying attic insulation must be installed in a non-insulated attic or in an attic that is insulated to a level of R-11 or less. The final attic insulation must be at least R-30 unless a higher level is specified by local jurisdiction. Attic insulation must be installed between conditioned and unconditioned areas to qualify. www.pge.com /res/rebates/insulation/index.html   (419 words)

Do It Yourself   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) An under-insulated attic is like a sieve, allowing air from your home to escape through it. You can hire an insulation contractor to blow-in loose-fill insulation in the attic or do it yourself; either way it's a good way to increase the R-value or insulating power of your house. The job involves hauling the bags of insulation up to the attic, pouring it into the cavities between the floor joists and spreading it around. www.diyornot.com /diy/acgb/Project.asp?ndx1=1&ndx2=6&ndx3=0&Rcd=136   (212 words)

My upper floor and attic are too hot I have looked up in the attic and there is about a foot of insulation, including a layer of batts and the n several inches of blown-in fiberglass insulation. My complaints about powered attic ventilators remains that they can fool you by pulling conditioned air from the house, from the upper level that will be replaced by cooler from the lower level, giving you the false impression that the fan is in fact ass isting in cooling. My real complaint about attic fans, and a position from which I only reluctantly retreat and only under special circumstances, is that they have a reputation for burning up as they wear out and taking the roof-- and house-- with them as they blaze into oblivion. www.jimrooneyonthelevel.com /2005/0903.htm   (1076 words)

HandymanUSA - Attic Questions and Answers As far as safety is concerned, make sure the joists in the attic are adequate to carry the load of a new floor, furniture(?) and the kids.

Talk2DIY : Masonry and Attic Ventilation : DIY Network You can over insulate your attic if you are covering soffit vents, if the attic is small and has a lot of insulation, or if the insulation is pushed up on the underside of the roof deck. Mold in the attic can be caused by not properly ventilating the area which can cause moisture. The Department of Energy states that if an attic is insulated without a vapor barrier, you will need one square foot of vent space and 350 feet of attic space to keep it from getting too hot. www.diynetwork.com /diy/hi_talk2diy/article/0,2037,DIY_13935_3644613,00.html   (1156 words)

What's in the Attic? The amount of heat flow from the attic to the house below is partly dependent on the temperature difference between the two areas. To obtain adequate attic ventilation in Louisiana, an air flow of 1.5 cubic feet of air per minute per square foot of attic area is necessary. If an air conditioner ____ is located in the attic, it may cause warmer air to be distributed into the house. www.leeric.lsu.edu /bgbb/7/ecep/constr/g/g.htm   (934 words)

Attic Ventilation is Important One of many requirements is the amount of free air venting an attic should have to meet the UBC code. In simple terms, the roof should have 6.6 square feet of venting per 1000sq feet of attic area with 50% of the venting on top of the roof and 50% at the soffets. Although the plans drawn for the home specify perimeter and soffet vents which are usually installed, an inspection of the attic reveals that the insulation company covered all the soffet vents with insulation thereby creating an oven six inches above your ceiling. www.savenrg.com /1vent.htm   (415 words)

Air Comfort Corporation -- case studies -- Two 75-ton, roof-mounted, air-cooled package units would provide cooling to the balcony and choir seating areas via new ductwork in the attic and new ceiling grilles installed in the 71-foot high vaulted ceiling of the main sanctuary. As work began, a demolition company was contracted to take apart and remove the original air handlers located in the lower level where the new air handling units would be installed. A concrete and bricklaying firm provided openings in one end wall of the attic through which the majority of the new attic ductwork would be loaded prior to installation. www.aircomfort.com /case_studies/case_moody.html   (446 words)

attic venting It is also imperative in cold climates to keep any attic insulation that is in direct contact with the ceiling from touching the roof as the slope nears the outside walls. A properly vented attic, be it vented by natural aspiration (adequate soffit vents and properly sized and placed exhaust vents), or a powered attic fan, should be only a few degrees above outside ambient temperature. The lower vents on the roof are intake vents, the upper vents are exhaust vents. www.savenrg.com /venting.htm   (3586 words)
