Current residential code (2015 IRC) states the minimum attic ventilation requirements are 150/1. 


There's an exception in there, 1/300 if using ridge vents, as they are more efficient than vents NOT places at the highest point of the attic space (hot air rises...)

I know. But I figured there was plenty of info to sort out without getting into exceptions and percentages. If it’s split high and low (40-50% high?) it can be 1/300. But if you have a continuous perforated soffit you end up with nearly 1/150 anyway to get the ratios to work.
