Abstract
A passive ridge vent for metal roofs provides a passive ridge ventilation solution that when coupled with vents in the field and eave provide a complete attic ventilation solution. The passive ridge vent is secured in an opening along the ridge between rafters and the side and edge wings seal against any suitable metal roof. The input/exhaust channels extend through vertical side walls to minimize the energy needed to cause convection out of the chimney.
