Was just talking to a HVAC guy and he referred to some study that said
the cost of running power ventilation exceeded the cost of just
turning down the AC. �Someone shared the idea of solar powered vents
which I've looked in to but I think my first best move is to improve
the passive ventilation. �I have only vents at the eaves currently so
will add soffit and maybe, in time, ridge vents.


What do you think?


The best passive ventilation is a functional cupola


So, add a dome to my roof...????


my ridge vent helped a lot
