Consider drawing the air from a cooler area

Consider drawing the air from a cooler area. In a two-story house, the first floor remains much cooler during the day than the air in the upstairs. The basement or crawlspace below the house has the coolest air of all. A cool north side of a house shaded by trees will provide much cooler air than a vent just under the roof line on a side that remains in constant sunshine. One grower buried a network of four inch sewer pipes and drew his incoming air from these pipes. The air was ten degrees cooler than the air entering the intake. (Be certain to screen the intake to prevent against dust and pests that can kill the white widow. There could also be a mold problem with this arrangement.) Swamp Coolers A swamp cooler is a name for an evaporative cooler. This is a device that cools the air by circulating water over cedar pads and drawing a high volume of air through the wet pads. The evaporation effect draws a lot of heat from the air. The problem is that some water is put into the air.
