Attic Ventilation

What is it?

The term attic ventilation refers to the process of exchanging the air in your attic with fresh air from outside your attic. This is done in many different ways. There are three main types; soffit ventilation, gable ventilation, and roof ventilation.

Three primary reasons why fresh air is needed in your attic:

To remove moisture or humidity from your Attic

To remove heat and to cool the attic

To vent out Carbon Monoxide, and other pollutants

The building codes that new homes must meet are designed for the first reason, to prevent moisture accumulation which allows mold and mildew growth as well as wood rot and deterioration. In order to have an energy efficient home and attic, you should have at least 2.5 air exchanges an hour in your attic. That is, 2.5 times an hour, your attic should have the old air replaced with new outside air. This removes the hot air quickly enough to prevent heat buildup in the attic airspace removes Carbon Monoxide, Pesticides and other Pollutants.
