Energy Consumption Poll (my shop)

Apologize for the length ahead of time....Grandpa, Dad & his brother were all roofers in NJ. One of the things they pushed was as much ventilation as possible. Fast forward a decade or two and I ended up in AZ. My Dad convinced me to put more passive ventilation up then what the home had. My home had a full ridge vent, gable vents and vents in the hip sections. It also had fully vented soffits. Much to my surprise when I put the birds on the roof they spun damn near 11 months out of the year. The house had 12-14 inches of blown in insulation. When I put the birds up my electric bill was $10 less a month during the summer than the previous one. The house next to mine was built the same time. Bob did not have the birds on the roof. Last trip to AZ the shingles on my old house were all still laying flat. Bobs house needed a new roof, the houses were 18 years old. There is other passive vents available. Noticed on my way to town today that pretty much every newer home up here has passive vents in the roof. Again, sorry for the length....And your garage looks great....
