Not allowed to spray foam up in the in that area where the truss meets the soffit vents.
You need to leave enough gap with baffles so the air can freely enter and circulate.
No air circulation means HOT..... So hot your shingles will curl

this architect and myself are experts in the field who have been working daily with code officials and know what is being shown in the above image.

Baffles are being installed evenly around the perimeter of the eaves and spray foamed in place to maintain an overall ventilation area of 1:300 of the insulated ceiling area as per code, while also addressing the need to provide adequate insulation at the eaves in order to meet the EE requirements of the code.

I feel enlightened and very humbled!
