Xringer, I like your thread, you'r pretty high Tech with the data logging.
I enjoy reading your posts on numerous other threads.

I'm thinking of doing similar thing in my next house I'm designing / building someday.

Hole is dug for basement, with no trees to shade until very late in PM, dark green steel roof 9:12 pitch, about 1200 ft2 faces South.

Location:
80813
Teller County Colorado
Zone 5/B dry
Design temp 2* F
AFI = 2500
Mean Annual Temp. 40* F
HDD 6415
Lat = 38.8*
Altitude 8,800'
Very good Solar many clear Winter days, lots of UV, I can get a sunburn in 30 min. in Winter.

I will attach a quick drawing of mini-attic area below 48' long ridge vent.

Roof is vented on underside of roof sheathing & above R51 insulation.
The vented air will flow into this mini-attic before exit out full length ridge vent.

My question is: do you think this is worth doing?

BBP
