What is another word for attic fan?
Pronunciation: [ˈatɪk fˈan] (IPA) 
An attic fan, also known as a roof vent, is a ventilation system designed to cool the attic space. There are several synonyms for the term attic fan, such as gable vent, solar fan, ridge vent, and turbine vent. Gable vents are fans that are installed near the roof peaks to extract the hot air from the attic. Solar fans are powered by solar energy and draw out the hot air from the attic. Ridge vents are installed along the roof's ridge line to allow the hot air to escape. A turbine vent, on the other hand, uses wind power to create a vacuum that removes hot air from the attic.
