Abstract: A stormproof soffit assembly for venting an attic of a building and a method for installing the same are described herein. The stormproof soffit assembly is mountable on a wall of the building proximate an airhole in the wall opening on the attic. The stormproof soffit assembly comprises an inner vent member configured to extend along the wall of the building and forming an inner chamber having an air input port allowing air to enter the inner chamber; an exposed vent member forming an outer chamber, an upper portion of the outer chamber defining an air output port in fluid communication with the airhole in the wall; and a mesh extending between the inner chamber and the outer chamber and allowing air to flow therebetween. The air follows a chicane-shaped path when circulating through the stormproof soffit assembly between the air input port and the air output port.

Abstract: A roof exhaust for exhausting gas from a building is provided. The roof exhaust includes: an enclosure including a base and a hollow body extending from said base, the enclosure having side sections and a front section extending between the side sections; a conduit extending within the hollow body along a central axis, the conduit having an inlet connectable to a source of gas and an outlet for exhausting the gas from the conduit; a hood extending in the front section over the outlet, the hood comprising an aperture and being configured to direct gas exiting the outlet through the aperture in a downward direction towards the base; and a baffle extending in the hood and sloped towards at least one of the side sections, thereby being configured to deflect gas exiting the aperture in a lateral direction substantially perpendicular to the downward direction.
