I spend more time in my bedroom than any other part of the house, I sleep there as well as spend most of my leisure and study time there.
So it is fairly important to make this room as comfortable as possible.
Unfortunatly the room is anything but comfortable in summer.
My room was built by myself a few years ago into the second car slot of a 2 car garage. There was no insulation in the roof however I have now insulated all the walls and ceiling and bought insulating sliding glass door window treatments.
In the corner of my room is a hot water heater which is on 24/7 which adds considerably to my rooms temperature.
My room has think carpet which rests on top of shattered concrete so the carpet has to stay.
There is no window in my room but I installed a vent that sucks air from outside and pulls it in, however it doesn’t work at all during summer because the air outside is very hot.
I have 5 desktop fans on 24/7 which create a cyclone-effect.
The room has 3 PC’s, 2 TV’s and a server PC which generates a lot heat.
The room is thankfully almost dust free due to the lack of windows and I installed dust filters on intake air. However in order to keep it dust free the door to my room needs to be shut and vacuum sealed as much as possible, resulting in the room having a very high pressure.
Air conditioning is out of the question because I already pay a lot on power as it is.
I would also prefer to keep liquids to a minimum in this room due to the expensive hardware that could be sensitive to it.
So with that aside, what can I do to make my bedroom cooler?
at the moment it is 28 degrees Celsius and I can’t wear cloths inside my room.
