Ventilation is a very important part to keep a house healthy and allowing the home to be energy efficient. The primary reason for proper ventilation is to remove moisture build up. Typically, the two places that moisture builds up are in the attic, or under crawl spaces. When removing moisture, the added by product is better performing insulation. Moisture laden insulation material values can be decreased by 50% or more. Keeping your insulation dry is critical.
