I had considered the option of augmenting my six Ross 65 roof vents with 250mm computer case fans hooked up to solar power, and perhaps an additional 12VDC source from an old AC/DC adapter. FrozenCPU sells a fan that size with 105 CFM air flow and 19dbA noise level. I would have some advantages of powered venting, and adequate passive venting when the power is shut off.
Some note that attic fans are capable of pulling air from air conditioned space. But those fans are more powerful than this proposed rig. 630 CFM from computer fans in a roughly 12-by-30 attic shouldn't present that problem, should it?
(Note: roof pitch is about 10:12.)
Any problems with this scheme?
