Cockamamie Scheme #4342

Reply in thread

I have not studied them enough but my soffits could really use improved venting too. This will probably be my next step. I think poor circulation is why my attic gets so hot. My roof will need replacing in a year or two, I may replace my insulation with spray foam then.

I'm gathering data about the temperature difference in the attic now vs before my crazy pipe vent. I'll post it when I've got a couple of weeks worth.

Attic is vented but it does little good without a decent wind. Crawlspace is slightly cooler than outside ambient air, call it 85° in June. The same wind that would help the attic would also remove the cool from the crawlspace I think? Attic is insulated with old old blown fiberglass and then a layer of newer rolled fiberglass - not terrible insulation actually. Also the crawlspace is insulated from the house with spray foam insulation.
