Nobody is talking about reducing the attic temp by passive means.
I came from Kansas where we used wind turbines on houses to draw up cooler air from soffits and exhaust hot air out of the attic. I know there are solar fans that you can replace a existing mushroom vent on the roof but they can tend to draw in air from nearby exhaust vents and just circulate air between vents instead of from soffits.
What is the recommended number of exhaust venting for a home?
My new home in St Catherine’s has only 2 mushroom and very small amount of ridge venting because of lack of ridges.
I’m just guessing that since all of the soffits are open for venting, increasing the amount of exhaust vents or adding turbines has to help reduce the attic temperature for a minimum amount on money spent.
Anybody have an answer?
