Robert Jones Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 This one is bugging me. Three year old home. The roofer cut roof vents at both sides of the ridge. There are soffit vents as well. Am I wrong in thinking, that the roof vents, will pretty much vent back and forth, in that limited area? My description may be tough to read/understand. The pics should explain better;) Simple gable roof. Click to Enlarge 54.31 KB Click to Enlarge 52.03 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Rob, Any chance of doing a rough calc of ceiling area/300, which can be reduced if most is in upper third of height? I agree that it looks small, but I don't think these two will just whistle at each other. Enough heat builds up, they will both be forced into chimney duty.

kurt Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Absent any obvious or apparent issues, I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 No apparent issues Kurt. Was hot for a 60 degree day, but, that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I wouldn't worry either. The stack effect of cooler air entering the soffit vents would out weigh the cross ventilation of the upper louver vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
