Another sunny day today means problems with indoor heat. I had big problems with overheating and desiccation last year so I've made some improvements this year. So not only are the main doors fully open, sides fully vented and interior fans on, but this year the solar extraction fans are on and maxed out, I've changed direction of the floor fans so colder, outside air blows IN, but most effective of all is the large-scale overhead misting spray, which takes the air temp and leaf temp down by several degrees in the space of just a few minutes. I'm still testing it so I know how often to use it, so I can set a timer. So instead of temps of well over 30°C, I've got it down to just 22-24 which is just about right.
