I've been told that getting my roof ventilated is probably the most
important thing to do for passive cooling. The ventilation is pretty
poor now.

Passive vents are the best. No worries about them breaking. Ridge
vents, roof turbines, and gable vents all help. Downside is that if
you in a area that gets cold your attic will be cooler in the winter
time. not good.


In an area where it really gets cold (any area with snow) you want the
attic area to be cold so the snow on the roof over the attic does not melt
while there is still snow and ice on the edges of the room (the overhang) is
colder and the snow and ice on the edges makes a dam causing leaks.
