Kitchen Exhaust Fans - Bathroom Ventilation Fans

Bathroom ventilation fans shouldn't be vented indoors. You must Vent the air to the outside of your home to prevent mold or mildew from condensation. New homes are more airtight and energy efficient than homes built many years ago. There are fewer drafts in an airtight home, which lowers gas and electricity costs. However, pollutants retained in airtight buildings can be hazardous to occupants and jeopardize structural integrity. Proper mechanical ventilation design can address poor indoor air quality, while retaining energy efficiency.

For simplified installation, you have a choice of using bathroom wall exhaust fans or otherwise exhaust fans for bathroom windows. You can also buy them for the ceiling, but you will need a cavity above the ceiling to run ventilation pipes.

To calculate the size of the bathroom ventilation fan is to calculate the cubic feet of your bathroom (length x width x height), divide by 60 (the number of minutes in an hour) and finally multiply the result by 8 (the number of recommended air changes per hour).

Typically the exhaust points should be located over or near a shower or bath. With windows closed, exhausted air will be replaced by makeup air from adjacent rooms. There needs to be a gap under the bathroom door so that external air can flow into the room. It is recommended that bathroom ventilation fans be left on for 20 minutes after use of the bathroom. A timer is a good solution, allowing the bath exhaust fans to turn off automatically at the proper time.
