Thank you for all your in-site and experience, I have been trying to figure out how I want to help two heated areas, the garage and the attic. Being familiar with the fact that a lower temperature in the attic will definitely help the roof shingles last longer, and I want to lower the garage temperature with convection basically through the vents in the ceiling tossing up do I just need to vent in the roof pull the air through the faucet Vansant hopefully pour some air through the garage also two fans one in the garage one in the attic thermostatically controlled just kept going round and round haven’t really done anything yet. I have no round air vents in my roof, only ridge vents, so i’m liking the idea of putting a couple of those round vents in the roof to allow more air to flow out but if I put a vent in the garage or say keep my attic stairs ajar possibly allowing the air at the top of the garage to be convected up into the attic and then out the vents no electricity no thermostatic time we’re no plus energy just the work of nature and I do understand the path of least resistance also but I do believe that the air coming from ground level up to the top of the attic should give some nice natural convection thank you so much for your help if I am off with this theory please let me know if I’m on the right track please let me know thank you
