We all crave fresh air. It gives us energy, boosts our spirits and lowers stress. Like us, your home needs fresh air too - especially in the attic/roof area. Attic ventilation is crucial to the overall condition of your house as it creates the necessary airflow to reduce moisture buildup, keep energy costs low, diminish weather damage and preserve the life of your roof. Proper ventilation will create a healthy environment for your home and will enhance energy efficiency. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the Federal Housing Authority, a house requires one square foot of natural vent space for each 150 square feet of attic floor space. A home can utilize multiple ventilation techniques but one of the most common and economical is the use of natural ventilation Natural ventilation is the process of supplying and removing air through an indoor space by natural means. There are two types of natural ventilation occurring in buildings: wind driven ventilation and stack ventilation. . This method employs a combination of strategically placed inlet and outlet vents which provide a continuous flow of air through the attic. Inlet vents, such as vented soffit, are located low on the roof - under the eaves. Outlet vents, like gable and ridge vents, are located near the top of the roof or at the roof ridge. Ventilation occurs as the soffit vent inhales fresh outside air, where it proceeds into the attic and pushes the warm stale air out through the roof, ridge or gable vents. In the winter, these vents allow cold air to flow into the attic which thwarts ice dams and prevents moisture buildup. In summer, your attic can get dangerously hot - sometimes soaring above 150 degrees. The soffit and ridge vents work in conjunction, allowing the hot air to escape - which is a natural way to reduce utility bills. Alcoa Home Exteriors, a leading manufacturer of building products, introduces the newest addition to its premium soffit and fascia fascia (făsh`ēə), fibrous tissue network located between the skin and the underlying structure of muscle and bone.
