> Attic ventilation by tomh on 06/16/2005

purchased my home in may of 2004 with energy efficiency in mind.I have radiant barrier roofing installed and r-30 insulation.My problem is that I was told my attic temperatures would be around 10 degrees warmer than outside temperatures.I have been tracking attic temps for a year and am disapointed.I have attic temps over 130 degrees on clear sunny days.I have continuos soffit vents around perimeter of house and 5 12x12 vents on ridge of roof.The soffit venting was plugged and I have taken care of that problem.My home is 2200 sq.feet and is a hip roof.please help.
