We've got an attic fan that sucks air through our non AC'd home. I just open the door to the unfinished part of the attic, turn the thing on, and woosh. Quite refressing. Anyway, we're thinking of finishing the room and so we have to do something about the fan. Has anyone successfully adapted such a fan by creating an air tunnel through a duct and a grill opening onto the hall? Are the fans too big for that? |

The room you create and bypass with that duct work will get terribly hot.

But I was thinking that we could just put a vent in the wall separating that room from the fan area. I figure that whoever is in there will want the ac in the window anyway. |

My friend's finished attic had about one-third unfinshed for storage, but mostly walled off. In the center of that wall (directly opposite of the fan) she installed a standard screen door so that the fan could continue to suck the air through the whole house. It seemed to work OK. |
