QUOTE(basilpaschal @ Sep 23 2020, 07:52 PM) How much does it cost ? Is it worth it ? What if you are already living in the house ? Do you need to move for them to do their work? Do you mean the attic where the water tank is situated?

QUOTE(Johannlo @ Sep 23 2020, 10:43 PM) Went up to my attic to check on a leaking issue once. 3 minutes in I’m sweating like mad already. As in basah like after shower like that. And that’s like 7pm. Cannot imagine afternoon. QUOTE(Robin Hood @ Sep 23 2020, 10:53 PM) Not suitable in Malaysia thou cause too hot definitely not worth it if u think to renovate it into a room. QUOTE(myasiahobby @ Sep 24 2020, 08:36 AM) Malaysia weather you can turn attic into sauna room Perhaps if install the wind turbine can help cool down the attic space?

QUOTE(Zot @ Sep 24 2020, 10:37 AM) This will reduce the heat but not much. The cement roof tile accumulate heat and radiate heat. You can put insulator. Fridge just use polystyrene but you don't do that for house insulation. Not fire safe  Have you used (or using) this wind turbine in your home? If yes, does rainwater enter during heavy / strong winds kind of rain?

QUOTE(basilpaschal @ Sep 24 2020, 11:19 AM) Like other /k mentioned, if convert as storeroom, then it's OK. But if you want to do like European style loft rooms, then perhaps not suitable.

QUOTE(Zot @ Sep 24 2020, 11:23 AM) No I did not. It is designed in such a way that will not leak water even during heavy rain. I believe it has been tested. It even has wind strength rating. Oh OK!

QUOTE(Zot @ Sep 24 2020, 11:44 AM) Can also. You can have double glass window with tint and good insulator. Just prepare for electricity bill only.  And money for the renovation too...
