Hello everyone,
We are in the final planning phase of our house and are now wondering if, for our planned cold roof, two small roof windows for cross-ventilation are necessary.
Our client advisor says yes, but the general contractor considers them unnecessary.
How did you handle this in your projects?
Good luck, Julia

We do have two windows (one in each gable) in the attic, but they are only opened for cleaning.
Air exchange in our attic is achieved through ventilation bricks.
This works quite well so far.
However, the temperatures in our attic vary significantly between summer and winter – you can’t really call it “constant.”
Regards,
Dirk
