Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

Unvented attics have become a more common design feature implemented by Building America partners in hot-dry climates of the United States. More attention is being focused on how this approach affects heating and cooling energy consumption. By eliminating the ridge and eave vents that circulate outside air through the attic and by moving the insulation from the attic floor to the underside of theroof, an unvented attic become a semi-conditioned space, creating a more benign environment for space conditioning ducts.
