Yes, one of the reasons we want to adequately ventilate our attics in winter months is to remove the moist humid air that builds up in your attic during the winter. This system will work no matter what season and will keep unhealthy mold and mildew from occurring in your attic. For more FAQs on energy efficient roof system, please view this infographic.

HOW IS HEA T TRA NSFERRED FROM THE ROOF TO THE A TTIC?
FAQS
1
Direct heat transfer occurs when the heat source is in
direct contact with the object. Think of a tea kettle
boiling due to contact with the flame.
HOW MUCH ENERGY WILL I SA VE?
3
Once we installed only the venting under the roof we were
able to reduce the temperature to 75 degrees. In the south
where the summers are longer and hotter some houses
achieve as much as a 50% reduction in cooling costs. We
think in Virginia where we have a more moderate climate
we will achieve around a 10% to 25% reduction.
WILL THIS SYSTEM REDUCE MY HEA TING COST?
4
The whole goal of this system is to bring the attic air
temperature to the same level as the outside air
temperature, if this is achieved then you are only cooling
your house from 100 degrees to 70 in the summer, instead
of from 140 degrees to 70, therefore, in the winter you are
heating from around 30 degrees to 70.
DOES THIS SYSTEM HA VE A NY BENEFITS IN THE WINTER?
5 Yes, one of the reasons we want to adequately ventilate our
attics in winter months is to remove the moist humid air
that builds up in your attic during the winter.
IS THE ENERGY EFFICIENT ROOF SYSTEM NOISY?
6
No, we have found in the Energy Efficient Roof Systems we
have already installed that the noise is not noticeable. On a
house that we installed this system over an asphalt roof the
customer reported that he could not hear the rain at all and
later reported that he was able to barely hear the rain, but it
was during an inch an hour rain.
HOW DOES YOUR NEW ROOF VENTILA TION SYSTEM STOP THE
HEA T TRA NSFER?
2 We use air ventilation under the roof to actually vent the
hot air. As the air heats up under the roof surface the hot
air will rise and vent out of our vented ridge cap. As the
hot air exits it will draw in cooler air from the eave. We
have a venting eave system built into our roof system
