[Greenbuilding] bath fan (was dryer vent)

I installed a single Fantech unit in the attic above, and split the ductwork into both bathrooms. I then had an electrician put in a three way switch in both bathrooms (with timers).

We've done that twice; makes the exhaust quiet except on high speed at the hood itself.  Use the Broan roof vent as well, also excellent.   sacie

The fan we used is mounted remotely (as shown), and they do make a model that can mount on the roof deck for vaulted ceiling applications.
