exhaust vents

Building breath holes

Exhaust vents are openings that allow stale air, fumes, or gases to escape from an enclosed space.

They appear in buildings, vehicles, and appliances—anywhere air needs to flow out: The bathroom exhaust vent removes moisture and odors.

In HVAC systems, exhaust vents work opposite intake vents, cycling air through a space.
