Soffit vent redux

Recommended Posts

Every time I reread it, I come up different. Now, I think there has to be soffit vents (yeah, no shit...).

There is a requirement for cross ventilation for any enclosed attic or any enclosed rafter spaces where ceilings/drywall are installed on the underside of the rafters. Cross ventilation means an inlet and an outlet.

It references eave and cornice vents, and provides a relationship as to where the upper vents go, and that the remainder of the venting has to be handled by the eave or cornice vents.

That's how I interpret right now, anyway. So, I think there is a justification for saying you gotta have vents down low somewhere.

Richard was saying this previously, but it wasn't sinking in.

I think it's a very poorly written section.
