A roof ventilation system is an essential part of a building's structure that helps regulate temperature and airflow within the attic or roof space. The system usually comprises intake vents, which are placed near the lower edges of the roof, and exhaust vents, which are positioned near the top. These vents allow fresh air to enter and hot, stale air to exit, which prevents the accumulation of moisture, heat, and condensation in the attic. Proper ventilation can help extend the life of your roof and reduce energy costs by keeping your home cooler in the summer and dryer in the winter.
Joseph Conley, owner of McHenry Roofing, says, "Various issues can arise without adequate ventilation. If there is moisture buildup, it can lead to the growth of mold and mildew. This can cause damage to the roof structure and also affect the quality of indoor air. Excessive heat accumulation can also result in the premature aging of roofing materials, such as shingles, and can lead to higher energy costs as the temperature inside the building rises. Installing a roof ventilation system creates a comfortable indoor environment and reduces the strain on HVAC systems, leading to potential energy savings. Additionally, it helps prevent ice dams from forming on the roof during winter which can cause water infiltration and damage to the interior of the building."
There are different types of roof ventilation systems available in the market. The most commonly used ones are ridge vents installed at the roof's peak. These vents let out warm air through the top, while cooler air is drawn in from the soffit vents located along the eaves. Another option is gable vents, positioned at the ends of the attic where hot air tends to accumulate. They allow for natural convection to facilitate airflow.

Another type of ventilation is static vents, such as roof louvers or turbines. These vents work by providing airflow through a stationary opening, allowing hot air to escape while preventing rain or debris from entering the attic. Alternatively, powered attic fans use electricity to actively draw hot air out of the attic, promoting ventilation. These fans are typically installed on the roof or gable vents and can be controlled manually or automatically based on temperature settings. Another option is the combination of intake and exhaust vents, which work together to create a balanced airflow system. Intake vents, such as soffit or undereave vents, allow cool air to enter the attic space, while exhaust vents, like ridge or gable vents, facilitate the expulsion of hot air.
