Default Current best practice for roof vents?

If you have a ridge vent then you probably have an inverted V style
roof, which means you could mount a fan on the side wall of the attic
(or both side walls) and have it blow outside air into the attic,
thereby helping to force the hotter attic air up and out through the
ridge vent.


This is horrible advice. It demonstrates the understanding of basic
physics.

Forcing air from an "outside wall" inward would be taking in elements such
as water from something God created called rain. The fan would pull water
from the louvers of any vent.

You have absolutely no concept of building practices. You're nothing but a
hack.
