Apparently turbine ventilators can reduce attic temps pretty dramatically, which in turn can passively reduce cooling costs by 15%.

They're not universally applicable, for sure. They also wouldn't be viable in colder climates where the extra ventilation and temp reduction would be unwanted in the winter, or could cause pipes the freeze.

But in areas with consistent wind and high temperatures, they appear quite useful.
