I wished I'd done that when I put my addition on 20 years ago. We've had to
do a lot of work since to retrofit the ductwork in for A/C.

considered SHOUTING.)

they don't exhaust anywhere.

I'm not exactly sure why they exist.

I'm thinking of two possibilities
1) They are from an aborted attempt at installing AC
2) They are for the purpose of dumping hot air into the attic.

I'd always assumed that they all connected up with each other and
routed
back to the furnace, but the ducting literally goes nowhere - it's all
contained in the attic and it's all SEALED - meaning there is no exit
port.

What got me wondering about it was whether or not I should seal the
vents
during the winter to conserve heat.
