This course reviews all aspects and benefits of attic/roof ventilation. Most North American houses and small buildings are constructed with an insulated space (an attic) between the home’s ceiling and the roof deck. Where such a space exists above an occupied interior, it must be properly ventilated. Adequate ventilation can reduce harmful condensation, the formation of ice dams during, and excessive attic heat build-up.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Definitions and examples of attic ventilation systems.

• The reasons for ventilation - benefits for the health and welfare of the building and/or occupants/homeowner, including moisture and temperature control as well as structural and roof system integrity.

• How to interpret Building Code ventilation requirements in order to ensure shingled roof system compliance.

• Practical aspects of ventilation - types of vents and installation overview.
