Abstract

A prefabricated insulating and ventilating panel used between the exterior covering and framing components of a roof or wall in building construction has a rectangular plywood or oriented strand board deck spaced above a rectangular substrate of rigid closed foam thermal insulating material to provide air passageways to relieve heat buildup that causes wear of asphalt shingles and other roofing or wall covering materials, An alternative form includes a rectangular plywood or oriented strand board underdeck attached in contact with and below the insulating substrate to serve as sheathing for direct attachment to the building frame.
