Air Space Under Pitched Roof Reduces Heat Absorption
Prof John R Watt UT mechanical engineering says larger attic air space greatly lowers heat transfer. Doubling attic air space can cut heat absorption into living areas by 75 percent with mineral wool insulation. Ventilated spaces beneath pitched roofs reflect heat, enabling smaller cooling units and substantial cost savings. Light asphalt shingles aid reflectivity for air conditioned homes.
