Problems solved by technology

These differences may cause moisture accumulation and heat buildup in the enclosed spaces.
Provision of such venting typically requires visible penetrations of roofs or attic walls.
Such penetrations are subject to intrusion of rain, snow dust or sparks and are often costly and, in some instances, may be considered esthetically unattractive.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0016]Various inventive features are described below that can each be used independently of one another or in combination with other features.

[0017]Broadly, an exemplary embodiment of the invention may comprise a system of venting enclosed spaces of a building through an opening in sheathing or the roof deck of the building over which segmented exterior building covering material may be placed. The segmented exterior building covering material may be elevated from a surface of the sheathing or roof deck so that air may flow through the opening and through openings between segments of the exterior building covering material.

Abstract

A system for venting enclosed spaces between a roof and an attic space of a building may comprise an opening in a roof deck; wherein exterior roofing material overlies the roof deck and completely overlies the opening; wherein the roofing material comprises roof material segments; and wherein the roof material segments are in spaces between segments through which air flow can pass.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims benefits of Provisional Application 61 / 220,674 filed on Jun. 26, 2009.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to venting systems for building roofs and walls and, more particularly, to systems which provide for release of air from confined airspaces below to the exterior of the building.[0003]Many buildings are constructed with an intervening airspace below a roof and above an occupied area. For example, residential buildings may be constructed with enclosed attics or other enclosed spaces between a roof and an interior ceiling. For any particular building at any particular time, exterior temperature and humidity conditions may differ from interior temperatures and humidity conditions. These differences may cause moisture accumulation and heat buildup in the enclosed spaces. In order to avoid this phenomenon, it is accepted practice in the building industry to provide venting of these enclosed spaces ...
