[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 265618, member: 324"] Soffit vents bring air in, through the soffit. It comes up between the trusses. If you are going to insulate the attic floor (above the sheetrock), then you need to make sure that you put in the 'chutes' that allow the soffit vents to work. The air in the attic should be as cold as the air outside. You can tell a poorly insulated house in the winter, becuase the snow melts off the roof right away. Or, you can see the truss marks in the frost. Ridge vent is probably the best (aside from the soffit vents), but ridgevent can only be put in while a new roof is going on. Or rather, it'd be a pain. Otherwise, enough regular roof vents help. Of course, a powered attic fan moves a lot of air too. that'd be better. [/QUOTE]
