A product allowing for the partitioned and directional flow of gases and fluids is disclosed herein. The product generally comprises six faces or edges having grooves, channels, and/or passageways on a face or defined with the product that allow gases or fluids to pass along and/or through the product unobstructed. Incorporated into and along two long edges of the product are a plurality of fins meant to aid in the installation of the product into a rafter bay.

A roof vent for supporting a solar panel is provided. The roof vent includes a vent member and a solar panel support element. The vent member is sized and shaped to mimic the appearance of a roof cover element. The vent member includes an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion separated from the lower portion by a gap. The solar panel support element is attached to the vent member.

A hollow brick includes a bottom wall, two side walls, two intermediate walls, and a top wall. The top wall defines three arched top boundary surfaces of three ventilation holes bounded by the bottom wall, the side walls, the intermediate walls and the top wall. Two supports, each of which supports a first corrugated plate, project from the side walls. Two inner holding ribs are in two ventilation holes respectively proximal to the side walls and lie below the arched top boundary surfaces. A middle one of the arched top boundary surfaces abuts and presses a curved middle portion of a second corrugated plate, and the inner holding ribs respectively lift lateral portions of the second corrugated plate.

Vents are disclosed for covering openings on roofs. The disclosed vents cover openings on metal roofs and prevent moisture and objects from entering the opening while allowing air to pass therethrough. The vents disclosed herein also prevent moisture from entering the building through openings that can be created when the vents are attached to a roof. The vents include a cap, a collar, and a flashing configured to contact the roof. The vents can also include a screen placed between the cap and the collar. The collar can have arms formed on an upper portion thereof to facilitate connection of the collar to the cap. Feet can be formed on a bottom portion of the collar. Once the vent is fully assembled, the feet can be positioned underneath the flashing and can be the main connection point of the vent to a roof. Due to the design of this assembly, fasteners pass through the feet providing a sound and secure attachment to the roof. The feet are then covered from moisture, rain, and/or snow by a flashing, and the flashing is then secured by screws or other fasteners passing through the reinforcement material and through the flashing itself which provides a weatherproof seal.

A roof product has a thermal heat storage layer, a vent layer with channels for transferring excess heat through a length of the roof product, and a flame retardant to suppress fire through the vent layer. These three materials form a unitary structure. The roof product may have a radiant layer, the thermal heat storage layer and the vent layer to form the unitary structure. The roof products are assembled in an abutting configuration on the roof of a building. The vent layer vents excess heat from an eave of the roof up to a ridge of the roof and out to atmosphere. The roof products manage thermal energy in the roof by storing thermal heat with the unitary roof product during a heating cycle; venting excess heat through the unitary product; and releasing the stored thermal heat from the unitary product into or out of the building during a cooling cycle.

A process for conditioning the air within a greenhouse comprising transparent walls and a structure including one or more ridge beams as part of a roof of the greenhouse. The process comprises maintaining a pressure difference between an average pressure within the greenhouse and a pressure exterior to the greenhouse, taking in air from the exterior of the greenhouse and mixing this air with air taken from the interior of the greenhouse to obtain conditioned air, distributing the conditioned air via a forced flow to the interior of the greenhouse, and discharging a volume of air from the interior of the greenhouse via openings present in the one or more ridge beams such to maintain the pressure difference.
