That's what I thought it meant. But, that's the reason why I wanted to install a whole house fan, so air can be drawn into the attic, then out by the attic fan.

I have no eave or soffit ventilation, no louvered screens, NOTHING. The only ventilation there is are 2 3'x3' louvered vents on each side of the building, but each building spans about 50-60 ft.

For the most part, all of the tenants have their windows open, so there will be a good amount of air being drawn in. This is the reason why I wanted to use whole house fans in each apartment, so, all hot/humid air would be drawn into the attic, with the help of the outside incoming air. Therefore, the attic fan will draw out of that air out of the attic.
