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.

Exhaust fan is supposed to create  air flow through the building (convection) i.e. to improve ventilation.
It doesn't help to block off the heat from radiation.
To reduce heat from radiation, you need a medium to reflect heat from a building - a reflective roof (not applicable to houses) or reflective aluminium foil.  It works on the same principle as the thermo flask.

yes but if air are properly vent you won't get to hot. Just imagine two car under the sun. One with windows A open another with all closed. You get oven effect for the car with windows closed.

Also is good for better air circulation, maybe not this month.

I been using air vent for almost 20 years is goods to help suck in fresh air, and also you can cool the room down (till same as outside temperature) before switch on Ac. Help save energy too.

I think some1 made a thread similar to this topic. It really depends on where the sun fall during the 'golden hour'. If your room is facing the west side, you will definitely get a free sauna from the sun. Like my old room, I got it straight hitting to my room and it's really a hell where the heat will stay until the next day. I had blind outside of the window, with my window being tinted, and curtain as well, but it still wont help. Even if I on my aircon for the whole day also it's the same sad.gif

If your old room are on landed property and just below the roof, you can install a ceiling ventilation fan and let the fan suck out the heat in the evening.
