I did wonder what it was going to be like for you in the studio in the high heat of summer - and now I know!<br /><br />I have a fan running - but that's because the computer's fan seems underpowered and the computer doesn't like the heat!<br /><br />Over here in the UK the imperative now is to design out the need for air conditioning or extra heat in the winter through the way we design our buildings. We're getting very green!<br /><br />Incidentally, one of the things I find works is keeping the windows closed when it heats up - that stops the hot air getting in! It's counter-intuitive but definitely works!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-39307662094993645262009-08-21T22:21:37.006-04:002009-08-21T22:21:37.006-04:00I bet you will find that it doesn't cost nearl...I bet you will find that it doesn't cost nearly as much to run as you think it will. A window A/C is nothing like central air for using electricty. I know from experience. I sweltered through a very hot month when we first moved to Sacramento 35 yeares ago. We would come home from work and practically go into a coma it was so hot, but we were afraid to turn on the window A/C for fear we couldn't afford the bill. We eventually realized it was hardly affecting the bill.<br /><br />SydneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-17535651816792820022009-08-21T07:36:16.693-04:002009-08-21T07:36:16.693-04:00I also try to use my AC sparingly here in Ohio, bu...I also try to use my AC sparingly here in Ohio, but in the past two weeks we have had serious bouts of humidity. I live in a bi-level and the floors on the lower level in my sewing studio stay cold. So when the humidity goes up the moisture condensates on the floor and they get quite wet so then I break down and turn the AC on. I would think your paint would never dry with high humidity!patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-57584001092871308902009-08-21T03:19:17.584-04:002009-08-21T03:19:17.584-04:00Now a days we cannot do without the air conditioni...Now a days we cannot do without the air conditioning...Even centralized a/c will be too good..i feel much better using that one..Thanks for sharing with us.<br /><br />___________________<br />Jack<br /><a href="http://www.telekomx.mobi/lp1/iwaybpo/" rel="nofollow">Plug and play Security Systems no Contracts at the best affordable Prices</a>Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793976731794087407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-53130272487401892272009-08-20T18:23:32.757-04:002009-08-20T18:23:32.757-04:00Here in Texas, AC is a must.

But, I do have one for my studio (with a remote that I also thought silly and now totally love!) that has an energy saver mode, so it goes off when the studio reaches the precribed temperature. Although it doesn't cool down alot here at night, I can turn the temp way up when I leave in the evening so it doesn't run or very little. Enjoy the cool!Deborah Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242296435365350267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-74469619080708426672009-08-20T15:02:35.309-04:002009-08-20T15:02:35.309-04:00That is SO cool. :)

Well, I suspect our heating needs in the winter here are a bit more involved than in other parts of the country, so it all evens out;)<br /><br />Maryanne, oh I sure do remember the hot Philly summers.....

We live outside of Philly so we do have the semi steamy stretches of summer. <br /><br />Lots more time to spend in the studio! Its a good thing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785900285713084331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-15707849846159686042009-08-20T11:38:24.607-04:002009-08-20T11:38:24.607-04:00Wow!

I am at the point where I am hot all the time anyway so it is even more of a necessity for me! Glad you will be comfortable while you work though.Denise Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571110198502896822noreply@blogger.com
