Roof vents at our 15 buildings

Roof vents are a requirement according to accepted building codes.  Questions have been asked about the roof vents that are installed at our fifteen buildings.  At some of our buildings, roof vents are visible, and at other buildings, they are not.  But they are still there, it is just that at some buildings, the the type of roof vents used are made to blend in with the roof line.

For example, a, "continuous ridge vent" is installed on Building J.  It is "shingle over ridge vent", which makes it hard to see because shingles go over the top of it to make it blend in with the roof system, but it is there.  On some of the previous roof installation at other buildings at Kenthill Townhomes, the roof design does not allow for the installation of a continuous ridge vent, as the front and back roof platforms are at different levels.  On these buildings, "static" or, "stand alone" roof vents were installed to allow for roof ventilation.
