Description
Enhancement Request
Here is a link to comment in design document
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AMGe_PhBmAvygvrZgEigpYEeIAjUqySVwtfJb3Jf0is/edit?disco=AAAAAd4xX2g
Detailed Description
When we added PV we neglected to support vented cavities so while we can support PV directly attached to an exterior wall exposed surfaces, we don't support the most common use case for walls of PV on a vented cavity.
Possible Implementation
Add new object and integrate with existing PV functionality
