  1. Roof and Attic Ventilation

  2. Why Roof/attic Ventilation? • During the summer months, vents allow hot summer air to escape to outside enabling the house to breathe and be more comfortable • During the winter months, vents help to remove moisture from within the house to eliminated water condensation in the attic

  3. Attic Vent Types • Intake vents • Under eave ventilators: 1) rectangle/round cornice vents, 2) continuous Soffit vents • Exhaust vents • Gable end louvers • Roof louvers • Gable end louvers • Ridge line ventilators • Turbine ventilators • Power ventilators

  4. The Way Ventilation Works

  5. Venting baffle INSULATION AREA Soffit Vent Example AIR FLOW Air Flow

  6. Roof and Attic Ventilation • Amount of vent area set by code • IRC • Vent area = 1/150 x attic area • Project example: attic measures 40’ x 26’ = 1040 sq ft, therefore 1/150 x 1040 = 6.93 sq ft of vent area required for the Soffit and gable end vents • Usually 50% is intake and 50% is exhaust ventilation ( +/- 3.5 sq ft each type of ventilation)

  7. Sizing Attic Ventilation • Determine Size of Attic Multiply width (x) length of attic.

  8. Sizing Attic Ventilation • Sizing Exhaust Vents

  9. Sizing Attic Ventilation • Sizing Intake Vents

  10. Vents and Their Shapes

  11. Ventilation Solution • Project Attic Ventilation: • 2-24”x 30” gable end vents (high portion of gable) • 8-16”x 8” soffit vents evenly spaced (4 in each side of cornice)

  12. Elevation Symbols Handout Material

  13. Elevation Symbols • Symbols are different than section or plan symbols (see handout)

  14. Surface Materials in Elevation • Surface symbols for elevations Material symbols are not usually shown in color on working drawings • Window Representation • Direction of window movement • Glass symbol

  15. Surface Materials in Elevation • Attic Vents in gable end • Wood shingles • Asphalt shingles • Chimney styles & exterior treatment • (a)stucco • (b)wood • (c)brick • (d)decorative masonry

  16. Elevation Symbols Example(Complete Treatment)

  17. Elevation Symbols Example(Partial Treatment)

  18. Elevation Symbols Example(Symmetrical Treatment)

  19. Elevation Symbols Example(Cornice Treatments)

  20. Elevation Symbols Example(See Set of Drawings in Class)
