Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Mar 02, 2010 12:01 pm Hi, Does anybody know if these (e.g. for bathroom) have to be vented to outside or is into roof space sufficient ? A sparky I spoke to said into roof is fine although my draftsman has stipulated venting to outside. Our roof space has plenty of ventilation / air space. Also, where would you look to find the exact regs on this ? Thanks Re: Extractor fan regulations - venting 2Mar 02, 2010 12:34 pm This has been discussed before in several threads. I have found this earlier thread for you : http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12142&hilit=ducted+bathroom+fan Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Extractor fan regulations - venting 3Mar 04, 2010 9:41 am Thanks Southie, I did a search but obviously not general enough...doh I got around not having to have ducting now by having slatted vents in gable ends to give sufficient ventilation (weatherboard with tin roof), should also help in summer hopefully !! Re: Extractor fan regulations - venting 4Mar 05, 2010 7:46 am All exhaust fans should be directly ducted to the exterior - esp. kitchen (unless recirc. type) to prevent any flammable fats accumulating within the roof space.
