Cooling Room Down
My office, which is a back room with no vents for heating or cooling, gets pretty hot in the summer. This is the same room I have my redneck evaporative cooler. I was able to drop the temperature 5-10 degrees with two simple and inexpensive changes.
- About two weeks ago had was working on an outdoor project and I had extra shade material. I covered 1/2 the two windows in my office. This way I can still look outside! I covered the half that doesn’t open. One window has the homemade evaporative cooler creation.
- I put a fan that blows OUTSIDE in the other window. It very effectively pulls the hot air out of the room. With the homemade evaporative cooler on or off, I have another fan circulating the air. It made a tremendous difference in the room.
It is still warm here in the office, but so is my house. This time of year in AZ the weather in hot AND humid and evaporative coolers aren’t very effective. We are still in the triple digits. I can’t wait for it to cool down and get some relief.
