Steps to an Efficient Attic:

Through the use of controls and fans, the ATMOX system will use outdoor air to

reduce heat and moisture accumulating in the attic.

In the summer, the air flow moves the excessive heat out of the attic. In the winter,

the air flow pulls out the trapped moisture.

Insulation is an important part of an efficient attic. The goal is to separate heated and air

conditioned living space from the attic. The insulation works

to block the heat and moist air from below. It is

important that insulation does not cover attic soffit

vents to allow for intake of outside air.

The ATMOX Controlled Ventilation System is designed to decrease moisture and excessive heat levels in your attic. The ATMOX System uses a unique combination of fans, sensors and a computerized control panel to activate ventilation through dew point comparisons and temperature calculations. ATMOX is fully automatic once installed, and fans will only run when the outside air is beneficial in reducing moisture or excessive heat within the set parameters.

Moisture

Moisture in the attic generally occurs in the winter or in colder climates. While outside air masses can certainly affect the attic, the moisture is generally created from everyday living within the home. As warm air rises, the moisture migrates with it and gets transported up to the attic. In many attics, the moisture has nowhere else to go and gets trapped. It is important to remember that warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. In warm attics, the moisture does not usually lead to problems, yet in a cold environment that moisture is released from the air forming condensation on the attic surface.

Why is moisture a concern? Condensation in the attic creates the biggest issues as it can cause mold and mildew growth, water stains or wood damage.

ATMOX specifically addresses moisture in the attic. ATMOX is not just looking at a single humidity reading but is comparing inside and outside conditions as measured by dew point to effectively determine when air should be exchanged n the attic. Many other attic fans are only set up to run during high heat making them ineffective at combatting moisture most prevalent in cold attic environments..

Heat

Heat buildup in the attic generally occurs in the summer or year-round in warmer climates. Most of the heat gain is generated by solar radiation primarily on roof shingles and other parts of the building exterior that transfers to the attic space. Additional heat is added from the living areas as hot air rises to the attic space.

Why is heat a concern? Excessive heat in the attic can lead to roof shingle damage or deterioration. Additionally, the air conditioning system will have to work much harder to cool the living space underneath the extreme heat of the attic.

ATMOX ventilation for moisture control is triggered on a dew point comparison. A higher dew point

means there is more moisture in the air, and a lower dew point means there is less moisture in the air. Humidity alone does not provide true moisture information

without temperature.

Distributed Airflow

An ATMOX System is designed to address all areas of your attic. The ATMOX fans have various mounting options to accommodate various construction and attic styles. Ventilation can be customized to flow through a ridge vent, gable, soffit or roof deck. Your installer will come up with a customized fan placement plan for your attic to enhance existing ventilation.

ATMOX uses multiple fans to avoid having one oversized and noisy attic fan. ATMOX fans are designed to spread out the airflow, which is especially important in addressing moisture concerns to avoid winter condensation. ATMOX looks to exhaust air with fans using the available intake airflow from the outside to avoid pulling air from the living space.

Example: Setup using fans in gable vents.

ATMOX has an optional Snow Mode designed to intentionally reduce

the warm air in the attic during the winter. When activated,

ATMOX triggers fans to run bringing cold

air into the attic. This reduces the likelihood of an ice dam formation.

Example: Setup using fans underneath ridge vent.

Energy Efficiency

Dew Point

Ice Dam Concerns

ATMOX is engineered for energy efficiency. By using low voltage fans, the

ATMOX system has minimal electricity usage. In fact, the

entire system of controls and fans will use less than 150 watts of power when running – that is the

equivalent of just two old-fashioned light bulbs. This is quite a contrast to most traditional electric attic fans on

the market.
