Hey Guys,
I am renting a one-story house that has an insulated attic space. The house heating is not yet running because of some boiler tasks that need attention. Today the temperature in the rooms below was 62 and the temperature in the attic was 94. Outside the temperatire was about 65. The insulation is chopped up bits - like fistfuls - of glass fibre. I am thinking of using a fan to extract the warm air from the attic and suck or blow it down through a HEPA filter and the attic access hatch.
Has anyone done this and, if so, I'd like to know the make/model of the fan/filter unit? I am having trouble finding a fan/filter unit. Seems that the filter is always the missing part. The attic hatch is 16"x25".
One wall of the house is facing south and it has two small bathroom windows there - typical stupid construction to have two tiny windows facing south and a far bigger area of glass facing north. Anyway, I would like to know of a solar air heater that I could attach to that window and have the warm air circulate into the house, or pumped in with a small fan. I would not mind making the unit myself, if I had a proven design. That side of the house is seldom used because it is basically a yard with a 6' high fence about 10' away from the window.
Comments appreciated.
