    If you’re hoping to create a storage space in your attic, you need to address the following:

    • Ventilation Proper ventilation prevents excessive build-up of heat and humidity and can occur either naturally or mechanically. Natural ventilation utilizes vents located near the attic’s eaves and mechanical ventilation relies on an electric fan to circulate air.
