roof ventilation
Attic air circulation
Roof ventilation is the system of airflow through a building's roof structure, typically using intake vents near the eaves and exhaust vents near the peak.
Proper roof ventilation prevents moisture buildup, reduces heat accumulation in attics, and extends the life of roofing materials: The inspector recommended improving the roof ventilation to prevent ice dams.
