To get air con in our loft room

[Pollyforever]

After another night where I've hardly slept because of the heat I'm desperate. Our room is in the loft conversion and is insulated to a ridiculous extent to comply with building regs. It makes it unbearable in this heat. We've resisted getting air con because of its high use of electricity but I don't know what else we can do now to get some sleep! We've got two high powered fans but last night they barely made a difference. You can feel the heat like a blanket as you come up the stairs. Any ideas other than air con? Anyone got air con in a loft room?

I've been wondering about fitting mine like this too. Do you have it in situ all the time? Just wondering what I'd do inside when I want to put the Aircon away when not in use? All I am imagining is the same as a vented tumble dryer, 8ts just the hose stuck through the wall?

Mine reaches ridiculous temperatures in the summer ( loft conversion) . I find keeping the heat out with closed windows and blinds during the day, and a Vornado fan ( very expensive but effective) by the bed at night works wonders. I am menopausal too. Open the windows when temp outside drops.
