App Concept

VentWise Attic Planner

VentWise Attic Planner helps homeowners ensure their attic ventilation meets code requirements. Simply measure your attic square footage and note existing vents, and the app calculates if you have adequate net free area, suggesting improvements like adding soffit vents or clearing blockages. No more mold or mildew from poor ventilation.

Key Features

Ventilation requirement calculator based on attic square footage (1:300 or 1:150 rule)
Visual checklist to identify and measure existing vents (soffit, ridge, gable, etc.)
Interactive diagram to locate blockages (e.g., insulation-covered soffits)
Recommendation engine for vent type and quantity to meet target

Target Users: Homeowners who have experienced mold, humidity, or attic damage and want to verify or improve their attic ventilation

Revenue Model: Freemium with premium features: detailed report export, professional referral link, and advanced calculations for complex roof shapes ($4.99/month or $29.99/year)
