Insulating the attic roof is a great way to keep the heat out and the cool air in. Some home improvement retail stores also might be able to sell you an air conditioning window console, they should be glad to find you the right one.

Which gas do you use for hot air balloons?
Hot air is used for hot air balloons.
Does hot air move into cold air or does cold air move into hot air?
Both. Since hot air is less dense than cold air, the hot air rises as the cold air falls (i.e. as the cold air displaces the hot air). If you were to dye hot air & then inject it into the center of a room, you would observe the dyed hot air rising. What you may not realize is that gravity draws the (invisible) surrounding dense cold air downwards as it displaces the (visible) less dense dyed hot air. === Previous Posters Answer: Hot air rises

Proper Attic Ventilation 101?
Home attic ventilation is a necessity for every home. There are 2 main reasons why attic ventilation is a must. Heat accumulation and moisture damage are issues that can hinder homeowners depending on the season. Heat Accumulation During the warm and hot months, heat accumulates in the attic. When Summer is at it’s peak and temperatures near 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the attic can reach over 150 degrees. If a home has poorly insulated ceilings, the air conditioner spends more time running than necessary. This can really affect the electric bills. Adding attic ventilation can reduce the temperature of the attic to only 5-10 degrees above the outside heat temperature. This greatly reduces the demand on your air conditioner. The affect is lower electric bills. Attic ventilation helps hot air to escape the attic. Without proper ventilation, hot air is trapped in the attic. Ventilation gives hot air a means to get out of the attic. Moisture Damage Winter brings cold, damp days. The moisture gets trapped in the rafters and attic space. Without ventilation, the moisture builds up in the attic, which can lead to damage. Moisture speeds up deterioration of insulation and other materials found in the attic. In addition to the deterioration, you can wind up with a serious mold issue. Anytime you have to get mold removal services, you are talking high expense. Ventilation enables fresh air to clear out moisture and prevent it from building up. Types of Ventilation There are a few different types of ventilation. Natural vents allow nature to do it’s job of providing fresh air and pushing out heat and moisture. Attic fans can be a great ventilation tool. Attic fans can be electric and solar. The cost of running electric fans are still cheaper than the cost of heat and moisture remaining in your attic. Solar fans are economical because you purchase them, install them and the costs are over, while the benefits continue. Attic heat and moisture can cause unwanted expenses for home owners. The simplest solution is proper attic ventilation. Home owners have a number of choices in ventilation options. No matter what choice for ventilation a home owner chooses, ventilation is a necessity to lower electric bills and prevent moisture damage.

Are turbine attic vents are best to ventalate your attic?
