ceiling vent

Airflow outlet above

A ceiling vent is an opening in a ceiling that allows air to flow in or out of a room, typically connected to a heating, cooling, or ventilation system.

Vents may be covered with adjustable louvers or grilles: The ceiling vent rattled every time the AC kicked on.

In attics, ceiling vents help regulate temperature and moisture.
