Some homes are built with gable vents when applicable. Without eve (soffet) vents attic air is still stagnant (air does not move and heats up).
Adding vents at the eaves is necessary to provide good air flow within the attic. Eave vents pull in outside air to cool the heat the sun has generated in your attic. Even on that 100 degree day it is still cooler air than the 170-180 degree attic air.
The net affect is lowered ceiling temperatures in your home. Any ceiling temperature reduction, reduces the load on your Air Conditioning and a more comfortable living space.

Attic Ventilation
Proper attic ventilation is a vital piece of any energy efficient strategy. Proper Attic
Ventilation combined with a Radiosity radiant barrier can lower your attic temperature
dramatically. This will
The blazing sun's rays beat down on your roof causing attic temperatures to soar,
sometimes to over 170-180F! This heat forces its way through the insulation and
straight into your home. It heats up your ceilings and your AC system must then
remove the heat from your living space.
If you have a two story house have you noticed it is always upstairs.
A Radiant Barrier and proper Attic Ventilation helps alleviate that problem making your
entire home more comfortable and COOLER.
For homes here in Austin... the more ventilation you have the better. With a Radiant
Barrier and good ventilation we have done our job.
Again we hold true to our motto
save you serious money month after month.
