Hey guys, would like to get some idea on how to solve room being stuffy and no air flow issue.

My room is kinda like a L shape.. refer to attachment.

Red = door
Green = window
Brown = bed
Pink = fans (2 ceiling fan and 1 small stand fan at the corner)



Even though turning all 3 fans together, the room still feel very stuffy and hot during afternoon. Opening the window also not helping much. If there is no wind, the room is even hotter.

Just want to know you guys got any advice on how to solve this?

Take the small fan and facing forward to the window. Let the stuffy air goes out and create a negative airflow point in your room.

hmm, worth a try.. btw, i am not opening the door as I wfh and my household tend to get noisy sometimes.. especially when family member blasting song just outside my room (a living hall just outside my room)

Two options ...

1. Budget method ..... exhaust fan

2. Expensive method .... air cond.

The heat from the roof is the 'killing' part.

yea... as i am on the 2nd floor... and i got no air vent up at the roof...

the exhaust fan you mentioned... which 1 you talking about?

KDK ceiling exhaust fan. I have one in each room on the 1st floor plus the living hall.

the 2 ceiling fan is not creating airflow in and out, only circulating hot air within.

Try to use a 16" industrial fan to blow towards the window and off the ceiling fan on both.

Aircond je lah

ohhh yea i thought of installing this as well.. but I don't know how to install it myself hahahaha

the hot air just go to roof is it?

yea, someone mentioned facing the stand fan towards outside, creating a negative airflow.. currently trying it

16 inch industrial fan is too big for my room, so that option is not feasible for me

16" too big, try 14" but physically test all the different brands because not all 14" fans have the desired wind output.

Those tower fans can forget it...unless you going for Dyson and those turbine suction type.

The purpose of the ceiling exhaust fan is not only to remove hot air from the room but more important is to circulated the heat built up in the area between roof and ceiling which is the likely cause of your hot room.

My upstairs bathroom fan is left on the entire day so that the place doesnt smell moldy and always dry.

Labour to install the fan wont be expensive .... max also 100 to 150. ... cheaper than aircond.
