Abstract
A ventilation system utilizing fans to bring air into a building and/or exhaust air out of the building powered at least in part by solar panels that can be quickly and easily mounted on the building, such as on roof vents, windows, and the like adjacent to the fans. A sensor may be operatively connected to a controller or logic circuit to measure environmental factors to determine whether to activate the fans. The ventilation system is configured to be a modular device with versatile fasteners for easy installment in windows, attics, or roof tops.
Claims20
A building ventilation system for attaching to a vent, of a building, comprising:
- a. a fan attachable to an interior of a building in proximity to the vent;
- b. a solar panel sized and operable to sufficiently supply power to the fan, wherein the solar panel is exteriorly attached to the building and electrically connected to the fan via an electrical line through the vent;
- c. a controller operatively and electrically connected anywhere between the solar panel and the fan to control activation and deactivation of the fan depending upon a temperature determination;
- and
- d. a first temperature sensor operatively and electronically associated with the controller to sense the temperature and activate or deactivate the fan in association with a pre-determined temperature.
A retrofitable ventilation kit for an existing vent of a building, comprising:
- a. a ventilation tan generally adjacent to the vent to be further ventilated wherein the fan is located within the building;
- and
- b. a power source operatively connected to the fan, the power source comprising a solar panel located outside the building, wherein the solar panel includes a fastener to fasten the solar panel to the exterior of the building, and wherein the fan and the power source are electrically connected by way of an electrical cord that runs through the existing vent.
A ventilation system for ventilating air through an existing vent within a building, comprising;
- a. a fan;
- b. a solar panel operatively connected and sized to provide sufficient power to the fan via an electrical line through the existing vent, the solar panel attachable to the building
- c. a temperature sensor associated with the ventilation system;
- and
- d. a temperature-sensitive controller unit operatively connected to the fan to control activation and deactivation of the fan depending on the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor.
