Roof vent

A vent for venting a building enclosure, the vent comprising:

• a base comprising an attachment element for attaching said base to said building enclosure and an aperture to permit gas to pass in to and out of said building enclosure through said base;
• a cover attached to said base for covering said aperture, said cover having a top wall and a side wall, said side wall including a slanted side wall portion, the top wall and the slanted side wall portion being angled relative to one another, said slanted side wall portion extending from said top wall to said attachment element;
• and
• at least one attachment structure attaching said cover to said base;
• wherein said aperture is positioned on said base such that the center of the aperture is displaced from the center of the cover toward said slanted side wall portion.

A vent for venting a sloped building enclosure, the vent having an upslope side for facing up the slope of said sloped building enclosure, a downslope side opposite said upslope side for facing down the slope of said sloped building enclosure, and a pair of opposed sides extending from said upslope side to said downslope side, the vent comprising:

• a base comprising an attachment element for attaching said base to said building enclosure and an aperture to permit gas to pass in to and out of said building enclosure through said base;
• a cover attached to said base for covering said aperture, said cover having a top wall and a side wall defining a covered area on said base, said side wall extending to said base on at least said opposed sides;
• a pair of moisture deflecting features, each said moisture deflecting feature being positioned on said base and extending along at least a portion of said base from said upslope side to said downslope side between said aperture and an edge of said covered area at one of said opposed sides;
• and
• at least one attachment structure attaching said cover to said base;
• wherein said moisture deflecting features prevent moisture flowing under the influence of gravity along said base from within said covered area to outside of said covered area at said opposed sides, and direct said moisture to flow outside of said covered area at said downslope side.
