Survey Of Unvented Attics In Climate Zone 2a, Florida Solar Energy Center, Eric Martin

FSEC Energy Research CenterĀ®

Moisture risk must be managed in unvented attics to ensure durability of components and longevity of the system. The FSEC Energy Research Center (FSEC), at the University of Central Florida tested and collected data in six homes in the northern Florida portion of IECC Climate Zone 2A built after 2015 with unvented (semi-conditioned) attics to add to the body of knowledge on the accumulation of moisture in the attic and its effects on roof moisture that can impact durability.
