You can put up a solar-powered fan that comes on when the sun shines and is over a certain temperature.

We usually don't have to turn on the AC until around 3:00 the next day. --- On Mon, 8/31/09, Stephen Russell <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Stephen Russell <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [NF] how hot is your server room? > To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> > Date: Monday, August 31, 2009, 1:27 PM > On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 12:09 PM, > Paul McNett<[email protected]> > wrote: > > MB Software Solutions, LLC wrote: > >> I like to set the thermostat at about 73...more > than that, and I'm too warm. > > > > Come out here to the left coast, where we get 69-75 > inside in the summer with no AC. > > Okay, some of our misguided neighbors have AC but they > wouldn't need it if they'd > > just vent their attics and plant some trees around > their house. > ------------------------------ > > How much fan do you use in your attic system?
