Any kind of attic venting will help keep the house cooler in the summer, which saves energy on fans or air conditioning. If the attic isn’t vented, the heat generated by the sun hitting the roof will not be dissipated. So, it will radiate down through the insulation and into the ceiling. It will also stay hot longer, because there is nothing removing the trapped heat.
If the attic is vented, a lot of the heat from the sun hitting the roof will be removed from the attic. So, less heat will radiate through the insulation and the ceiling. It will also remove the heat after the sun has gone down. So, the house will be cooler and not require as much energy to keep at a comfortable temperature.
