[quote=Anonymous]There is no chimney effect when the fan is off because the damper on the end of the duct is closed. IOW, there is no natural venting, like in a properly insulated and installed attic /roof ventilation system. The force of the fan is what opens the damper and propels the moisture out, whether it's straight up or to the side. Either works fine. I am the PP who suggested horizontal ventilation, to avoid roof penetrations, but it the roof is significantly closer than an exterior wall that obviously works well too. You were right to not let your contractor exhaust directly into the attic. That's pretty high on the list of obvious no-nos.[/quote]
