Attic VentilationAttic ventilation is essential for an energy efficient home. Attic ventilation is the most cost-effective way to cut cooling costs AND is needed for the insulation to work well.When most of our homes were built attic ventilation was not considered important. Now we know that attic ventilation is needed for a comfortable home. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) recommends 1 square foot of ventilation for every 300 square feet of attic area, divided equally between intake and exhaust vents. This is simple arithmetic, no guesswork is involved. In Summer Without attic ventilation, attic temperatures can exceed 160 F. Even at night the attic stays hot. The excessive heat reduces the life of your roof and eventually penetrates to the living space of your home. A well ventilated attic will make your home noticeably cooler and reduce the load on your air conditioning. In Winter Water vapor is produced from bathing, cooking and household appliances. This moist air rises through the attic until it contacts the cold winter air, where it can condense into water droplets on the underside of the roof. It then can drip onto the insulation, reducing its efficiency. The water can cause mildew and mold, rot the wood, damage and spot ceilings and paint, and cause damage to the roofing. Also, ventilation helps prevent ice dams. Ice and snow on a roof will melt and run down the roof to the cooler eaves, where it can freeze and create a dam, trapping moisture on the roof. Ventilation prevents this by keeping the roof deck temperature consistent. Vent Masters Store
