[quote=Anonymous]Proper venting of attic is fairly important. When we custom built our home, we specified the soffit (hardi), ridge venting, roof insulation (r49) and the baffles at edge of roof rafters which keep blown insulation out of vent routes. When you go into the attic, you see white light all around. We have ZERO mechanical (power fans) venting on a 12ksqft home. Best venting is passive - ridge/soffit but it must be appropriately sized and executed. The benefits have been significant- extremely low energy bills and no ice cycles (no ice dams). Builders almost never do it right. You will need to carefully inspect the work. [/quote]
