Attic must have 5 sq.
Venting a flat roof with parapets.
Ft of vent space half dedicated for air intake in the soffits and the other half for exhaust on the roof.
Normally you would find the venting at the soffit the underside of the roof overhang but that s not possible with the parapet.
Instead the air is vented through the roof to the parapet walls the parapet then incorporates a continuous strip vent beneath the cap flashing.
Good attic ventilation is important for preventing ice dams in the winter.
These can be ridge vents wind turbines or the flat vents your roofer wants to install.
Provide venting to each wall cavity.
Nothing built yet but in theory the solution should work well.
There are two types of flat roof systems warm and cold roofs which affect the positioning of the ventilation.
If cavity is greater than 12 provide high low venting in each wall cavity.
Alternatively you can drill lots of holes to connect the joist spaces or use web trusses and then install vents in the flat roof surface as in commercial.
Flat roof ventilation allows for the circulation of air in the property particularly for warmer rooms in residential buildings.
When thermal insulation is placed below the deck the ventilation must also be on the underside.
Can use round louvered soffit vents to limit bulk water intrusion if venting holes are in exposed location.
For areas which do not need above cover.
We also have a parapet on a flat roof and the ventilation solution is not through the cladding but the design flows air over the parapet.
