Attic Air

It may seem counter-intuitive to add insulation for warmth and then purposely allow cool air to enter the attic through vents, but this combination is the key to a durable and energy-efficient home. In winter, allowing a natural flow of outdoor air to ventilate your attic helps keep it cool, which reduces the potential for moisture build up and ultimately ice damming (snow that melts off a roof from an attic that is too warm and then re-freezes at the gutters, causing an ice dam that can damage the roof).

Currently the EPA recommends a minimumof an R49 rating for Midwest Region 5 which includes Illinois. But high efficiency homes are insulated to an R60 rating.
