Would the attic have enough ventilation to release air with this fan?

Hi,
This is the fan I'm looking to get to extract heat out of a room is this
http://www.vortice-export.com/default.aspx?idPage=313&idProdotto=142066&idCartella=73&idInsieme=2084&idTipologia=2085

It won't be on all the time - it will be temp controlled but will the air/heat it blows up into the attic get released properly or could it cause pressure buildup or what?

Thanks.

It will be fine. There are loads of ventilation spots in the attic. The attic has to be ventilated so the roof timber does not rot. Therefore the wont be a build up.

Question. Why dont you put it on the brick wall and blow straight outside?

I would like to reuse the heat. I will blow some of it down into rooms around the house during the winter - well that's the plan anyway.

Seen that in operation - the fan kicks in when a room reaches the required temp, and transfers heat via 4" pipes elsewhere in house - works an absolute charm.

Have found that the best place for the inlet vent is directly above stove / rad etc.... Also i'd insulate the pipes in the attic - no sense in losing heat to your christmas decorations and old toys....
