Did you know attic temperatures can often reach over 150 degrees in the summer? Besides creating an uncomfortable interior environment for the homeowner, these temperatures foster the development of moisture, which leads to critical failures and expensive repairs. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Attic Breeze’s team has spent years developing solar-powered active ventilation systems that mitigate attic temperature rise and moisture development!

Their systems go beyond what traditional roof vents (also known as passive ventilation) can do by using of fans to move air (rather than relying on natural wind). This leads to faster removal of hot, humid air and a quicker reduction of attic heat for a more comfortable home and healthier roof system.

Here’s what we’ve been talking about at The Coffee Shops™ this month! 

In the industry, March often feels like a preparation month as we all look forward to a new construction season and the business that comes with that. As we look back at the top articles of the month, we can see some of that come through in The Coffee Shops’ readers’ interest in innovative roofing products and changing regulations.  

In one article, Reed Hitchcock, Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) vice president, shares his thoughts about Florida’s Insurance Commissioner, Michael Yaworsky’s comments on the future of asphalt shingles in the state. In another article, Attic Breeze announced the Florida Building Code (FBC)’s approval of their attic fan and ventilation solutions for use in High-velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ). Coffee Shops’ writer Jesse Sanchez’s article on TUBOS' 5-inch vent pipe extension also made our list this month! 

When it comes to talk of regulation shifts and changes, our number four spot was taken by Dani Sheehan’s article, “What you need to know about ICE on the jobsite.” In the article, Dani highlights one of our Coffee Conversations where industry legal expert Trent Cotney of Adams and Reese LLP shares his thoughts about how contractors can navigate the current and constantly changing immigration enforcement actions occurring. Also on the topic of changing regulations, an article about California’s SB 721 mandate by Emma Peterson also made our top five list. The article explains Dr. Xiaomeng (George) Ge’s, a senior condition evaluation engineer, thoughts on the new mandate and how products from roofing companies like Pli-Dek fit into the picture.
