Abstract
A ventilation system for use with a peaked roof, the roof extending between lower-most extending edges disposed proximate to fascia boards and an upper-most extending peak. A plurality of interconnecting panels are assembled upon at least first and second angled sides of the roof, each of the panels exhibiting a length, width and thickness and defining a plurality of internal and lengthwise extending airflow passages. The panels are further interconnected along at least one of opposing side and end extending edges and so that the airflow passages align between the lower-most extending edges of the roof and the upper-most extending edges, associated with the peak. In this manner, airflow currents are drawn through the aligned airflow passages of the interconnected panels, in an upwardly angled manner, and exhausted along the extending peak.
