We have three external bathroom exhaust fan vents in a row built into our soffit. That side of the house has a wind tunnel effect going on. Cold air/warm air/humidity is flowing into our master bath and bedroom. With the fans blowing all is well but not the case with them off. I also see that the ducts aren't insulated well and could be channelling the temps outside and in the attic space. So, is this an issue with the insulation in the attic above our master suite or an issue with the type of vent? Solutions? Backdraft preventers, more insulation, or new vents with louvres?
