How Does Roof Ventilation Work? While cutting utility costs by letting excess air into your building seems counterintuitive, it’s integral to the proper heating and cooling of your building. As heated air naturally rises, attic ventilation primarily utilizes two types of vents: Intake Vents: these allow cool air to enter the attic space through the lowest part of the roof under the eaves. Hot Air Exhaust Vents: these allow hot air to escape as they’re located at the peak of the roof. The most effective form of ventilation has both forms of vents working together. The intake vents are placed down the soffits with the exhaust vents placed on the peak of the roof. This system encourages continuous airflow throughout the space as the cooler air is drawn in through the soffits, and the warmer air migrates to the high points of the roof to be expelled at the roof’s peak.
