I work with a small construction company and we have just installed a 48″ x48″ sklight above the stairwell. We live in Canada and will get temps down to at least -30 and condensation is a concern. Would it be beneficial to install a bathroom stlye fan near it to draw the moist air and vent it to another part of the house, perhaps the entryway. The main entrance is one floor below and close by, running the duct work would not be a problem. Would this work or is there some fatal flaws to this plan? Could we tie it into the forced air heating system and recycle the air back into the house?? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Lots to learn. Jason K.

Jason, I would think you would have better luck washing the glass with air movement from either your hvac or perhaps a ceiling fan. Opening the shaft (splaying the sides) would help too. In my daughters bathroom we installed a fixed vented velux in a splayed shaft. With radiant heat, we have no mechanical air movement, and have no condensation to speak of with the vent flap open. Best of luck
