This is a topic that is so rarely discussed when it comes to "high performance" construction. I tip my hat to the homeowners for taking on this endeavor!

This is a rabbit hole nobody has been brave enough to go down, glad you are! 🙌

Does that high, massive blank wall going up to the ridge enclose an attic bonus room? If so, why not put a window on that wall? If it's just empty attic space, why not turn the garage roof 90 degrees and make it a much lower shed roof and bring the left house gable down to match the right side? That would be a lot cheaper to build as well.
