What I was told by a plumber friend is that you should install your damper into your downdraft (the sheet metal damper) for your swamp cooler, and that you can also get some high density foam (the kind used in pillows and couches, NOT styrofoam, probably available at Hobby Lobby), cut a piece of it, and pop it up into the vent where the heat is escaping. I have not gotten the foam yet, but it seems like a great idea - just cut it a little bigger than the opening, and it'll pop itself into the space, and keep air from escaping.
also make sure to cover/tarp your swamp cooler, so as to make sure that you don't have air blowing out/into it.

What material stops heat from escaping through the roof?
Insulation, such as fiberglass.
Wood laminate floor over hardwood floor?
Yes, you can install a laminate floor system over existing hardwood floors. Just be sure that the existing hardwood is pretty smooth or the hump in the floor will transfer through. You must use a vapor barrier over your existing hardwood to reduce sound as well as moister transfere between two floor systems. Be sure to let your new floor acclimate to your room temp. for at least 48 hrs. this is especially important if you are installing floor in the winter.

Heat buildup due to a blanket of dense clouds is referred to as the what effect?
This is the green-house effect. If the cloud made of water vapor then it blocks out radiation and keeps the ground cool. If it was made of smog then it would let some radiation through and keep the reflected heat from escaping.

Because a nose peg will prevent any air from accidentally escaping through your nasal passages, assuring an accurate tidal volume and vital capacity result when you blow air out forcefully from your mouth into the spirometer.
How do you install side view mirrors on a 1967 mustang?
That depends on if you are installing in an existing location or if you are installing on the passenger side. If on the driver side then there should be screw holes in the door to mount the mirror, you may have to remove the door panel to feed the remote control through if it is a remote style mirror. If you do not have any existing srew holes or the ones that you do have are damaged then you may need a mirror mount kit from AAPD.NET. ::AverageJoeResto.com::

Insulation and reflection.
I insulated the ceiling between an upstairs apartment and it didn't seem to stop any sound from traveling through. Am I better off installing a new framed out ceiling an inch or so lower than the existing ceiling or are there more effective methods?

How does insulation conserve thermal energy?
The idea is to avoid - to the extent possible - heat from escaping. From escaping a building, for example. Some substances let heat pass through rather easily, in others, it is difficult for heat to pass.
