Attic bedroom

The Poor Poet, by Carl Spitzweg, 1839. (Neue Pinakothek)

An attic

An attic or a loft is a space found directly below the pitched roof of a house or other building (also called garret or sky parlor). As attics fill the space between the ceiling of the top floor of a building and the slanted roof, they are known for being awkwardly shaped spaces with exposed rafters and difficult-to-reach corners.

While some attics are converted into bedrooms or home offices, complete with windows and staircases, most attics remain difficult to access (usually by a loft hatch and ladder), and are generally used for storage.

Attics can also help control temperature in a house by providing a large mass of slowly moving air. Hot air rising from lower floors of a building often gets retained in the attic, further compounding their reputation as inhospitable environments. However, in recent years many attics have been insulated to help decrease heating costs since on average, uninsulated attics account for 15% of the total energy loss in an average house.^[1]

Ventilation

Modern building codes require unoccupied attics to be ventilated to reduce the accumulation of heat and moisture that contribute to mold growth and decay of wood rafters and ceiling joists.^[2]

One common code requirement is that the total area of attic vents be equal to or greater than 1/150 of the floor area of the attic, with 50% or more of the vent area located in the upper portion of the attic. Various types of turbine ventilators and exhaust fans can also be used to assist with attic ventilation and decrease the required area of passive ventilators.

Etymology

The word "attic" is derived from the Attica region of Athens, Greece and comes from Attic style architecture.

古代ギリシャにおけるテキスト様式と定型文の成立過程 : その二イオニア散文とアッティカ散文の発展(大規模言語資源による言語知識獲得)

佐良木昌
電子情報通信学会技術研究報告. TL, 思考と言語 111(428), 35-40, 2012-01-28
イオニア散文は、単文・並位構造・接続小辞による文連繋の文章構成が特徴である。アッティカ散文は長い複文・従位構造・抽象名詞が特徴である。前者のヒポクラテス・コーパスには、導入部・論議展開・結論という構成を備えるテキストが含まれており、後世の科学的論文体の先駆けである。後者のトウキュディデスの『戦史』は、前五世紀後半の代表的史書であり、分詞構文と接続小辞からなる長文で知られている。
