Still is circulating warm air. Unless you have water to vaporized it.

sounds high tech water to vaporized ehehhe

the fan will still blow the same room punya "Warm" air around.. = no diff

we need to exhaust the warm/hot air out.. or prevent more heat/warmed from building up

= insulation or exhaust or aircond smile.gif

I think is humidifier, not vaporized. Just like when blowing air to the aquarium, temperature can drop 1 to 2 deg. Like you see in mamak during how day they blow the fan + mist. But this will generate lots of humid, not good for room. Later bed growth mushroom.

heard that hanging a gourd (can be found in chinese/ buddhist religious store) near the window/ door/ place near the hottest space, or putting a white/ transparent crystal, might help to adjust the room temperature.

growing/hanging some pot plants near outside windows might also help.

Does this plant produce cold air? Any logic of it?

putting plants around living areas are common green methods of adjusting indoor/outdoor temperature; juz like u would feel a lot cooler when u walk into under a big tree from the outside with burning heat.

plants with lots of leaves release water vapour into the air, thus help to retain a certain level of humidity around the area where the plants exist.

some buildings that encounter all-time heat even have special arrangement on the exterior walls in which plants are grown on the entire surface on the wall; but these methods are more common in other countries.

insulate the house, put ventilation fan and AC... if temp is damn hot your venti fan won't do much. but you can stop the ventilation fan and run the AC for maybe less than an hour(if you're not aiming for cool/cold) just to cool down the hot air.. maybe it'll increase your bill around less than RM30 i think if run not more than an hour everyday.. keluarla duit skit kalau mau selesa...

you need to insulate the roof and ceiling. Shades by trees help. Good circulation of trap hot air. I believe the above is the best I know.

cheapest way is too install ventilation fan which could be result heat reduction up to 30%.

you may combo ventilation fan with window tint for better result.

btw does any ventilation fan brand come with remote control?

guys, i just installed ventilation ceiling on today.. I could feel the hot air is reduced. Air flow better..
I'm think install one more ventilation window fan flow in the cool air from outside during night time.. any suggestion?

KIntos, why you need remote control?

I think your all your ventilation going to suck power as high as aircon.

I cannot understand. It is suck air from the room to roof, hot air will release on the top.

electricity consumption is low in fan compare to aircond la.

good to hear that mickey as I will be doing one. my contractor also suggested the turbine thing so that hot air can escape.

bro.. your air need to come from somewhere for it to be sucked to the top right

and that somewhere is usually windows/door thus dust will enter..

unless your hse is air tight.. and the only opening is installed with an dust filter.. smile.gif
