App Concept

VentWise Attic

VentWise Attic is a mobile app that helps homeowners and DIYers design an effective attic ventilation system for their specific roof type. By answering simple questions about their attic (e.g., presence of soffits, ridge vents, gable vents), the app analyzes potential airflow short-circuits and provides step-by-step recommendations to fix ventilation issues, preventing moisture, ice dams, and heat buildup.

Key Features

Step-by-step attic assessment questionnaire tailored to roof configuration
Visual diagram showing current airflow and identifying short-circuits
Personalized optimization recommendations (e.g., block gable vent, add soffit vents)
Calculator for required ventilation area based on attic square footage

Target Users: Homeowners and DIY enthusiasts planning roof replacement or experiencing ventilation issues (moisture, heat, ice dams) in residential construction.

Revenue Model: Freemium – basic assessment free; detailed plan and recommendations via $4.99 one-time purchase or $19.99 annual subscription for unlimited access.
