Does the building code in Port St. Lucie permit the addition of either wind powered or electric roof vents. It would seem that they would provide improved reduction in heat buildup compared to standard ridge vents but in times of storms it could be a liability. I am curious if anyone has installed additional venting to the attic besides ridge vents and if so did you notice any difference in your utility bills.

I don't see too many around here, but they do exist. Have you thought of insulating the underside of your roof? I had that spray on foam adhesive installed under my roof and not only does it minimize heat infiltration, but it is an acceptable secondary water intrusion barrier and absolutely holds your roof down in case of hurricanes. It cost $3000 but I will recoup that cost within 3 year of lower insurance premiums.
