Makes a dramatic difference to roof space temperatures. The in roof Fan changes air in the roof space between 50 and 70 times per hour, too fast for heat to build up much beyond the outside temperature. You would need 30 or more whirly type wind turbines and a strong breeze to achieve this rate of airflow. ...

La compagnie [Ventilation Maximum] offre [...] des ventilateurs statiques pour remplacer les vieilles turbines de ventilation. Ces turbines sont souvent bruyantes ou bloquées, elles peuvent aussi causer des infiltrations de neige. Le ventilateur statique évitera ces problèmes et peut être installé directement sur l'ancienne ouverture prévue pour la turbine. L'étanchéité du toit ne sera donc pas touchée par ce remplacement. 2, record 1, French, - turbine%20de%20ventilation
