Re: Attic Ventilation
Thanks for the information. The responses are inline with my thoughts, but I wanted to verify.


This may be along the same lines of my ignorance, but I installed a powered gable vent in my attic. It is an exhaust vent. Would it be bad to make it an intake vent?

My reasoning is the gable is considerably lower than the static roof vents. And the gable vent seems like it would be fighting the purpose of the roof vents by creating the negative pressue at a lower level, thus holding the hot air higher in the attic in place.

If I turn the gable vent it would be pulling air from outside and help push the hot air out of the roof vents. Does this make sense?
