PRO 2 - Vented & Unvented Cathedral Ceilings

Wednesday, October 08, 2008  ·  1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

How do you effectively bring attic HVAC equipment inside conditioned space? How do you vent a roof with living space, when it's a maze of dormers, hips, and valleys? Unvented roofs and conditioned attics can make a lot of sense. Venting is intended to mitigate potential moisture problems, but it can create them as well as solve them. In this session we'll look at venting strategies - why, what, and how, and we'll look at successful applications of unvented roof assemblies. Along the way we'll see what the building code says, and what the risks are - even when you follow the code.
