"Linda:
I would suggest using the 130 cfm DC fan, the Panasonic FV-13VKS3, mounted in the insulated ceiling or in a thick wall (2x8 depth needed) pointed down so that the discharge could be connected to one of your existing 4x16 vertical duct…"
"It is always interesting to see how our fans are installed. This was a good install (except for the new color shingles...) - foamed edges, insulated duct, high rise roof jack, cable ties. The fans come with three spreader bars - a short…"

"As discussed in other replies, ASHRAE 62.2-2010 requires 7.5 cfm per person, usually based on number of bedrooms plus 1, plus 1 cfm per 100 squiare feet of living space. So a 1,000 square foot two bedroom unit needs 7.5 X (2+1) cfm for the…"
