Abstract: A roof vent for flat built-up roofs, having a truncated pyramid-shaped air stack with a protective cap and an internal fan for inducing upward air flow through a check valve at the upper end of the stack. A solar panel provides power for operating the fan, a thermal switch is employed for enabling the fan above an ambient temperature of 50.degree. F. (10.degree. C.) and a humidistat may be employed for disabling the fan below 50% relative humidity.
