When I come home from school or work, my room (14' x 13') is pleasantly cool. However, after maybe 2 or 3 hours, my room rapidly becomes hotter than any other location in the house. I want to figure out where this heat buildup is coming from, and fix it. I currently have four possible sources of heat emission:
1. Computer tower
2. Body temperature
3. Prolonged fapping (more body temperature)
4. Taking a shower (Adjacent bathroom)
Which one seems to be the culprit? Also, does too much fapping release more heat into room? If I do it too long, I start to sweat. As for the shower option, I typically shower after I come home, so I haven't been able to see whether this effects heat buildup or not. What might eliminate the excess heat, besides opening a window or turning down the thermostat?

Yep, I get the same exact problem. I blame 1 2 & 3. There's nothing you can do besides open your door/window, and turn on a fan. You are sitting in a closed box, if there is nowhere for the heat to escape, it will obviously continue to grow hotter.

The biggest problem is probably the angle of house in relation to the sun.

(continuation of last reply - accidentally hit enter) - when you finish school, does the sun start to set on the side of the building your room is in?

Do the heating/water ducts for the bathroom next to yours run under/next to your room?

Buy a fan, stop being fat.

Yes it does, when I get home, the sun shines directly into my room. You think this is a primary reason, or a secondary reason? I know that even when the shades are down and the sun has set for a few hours, the room is still hot. Maybe the heat from the sun is just trapped for a long time, or something else is maintaining the heat.

I'm considering buying a fan. I weigh 120 pounds and do cardiovascular, I have practically zero fat on my body. It'd be interesting to see if fatness contribute to actual heat buildup, or just subjective heat. If I do buy a fan, is it more efficient to pull air into the room, or to push it out? Does the time of day and the outside temperature affect the choice?

@67,063Wow, I'm the first replier, and again… you are eerily like me. Lately I've been leaving my window open 24/7 to help my room not stink so much (it tends to get
really odorous in here after nine hours of non-circulated sleeping)—(also, I can get away with always leaving my window open because fall is near and the weather has begun to cool). I usually keep my ceiling fan running while I'm on the computer/sleeping, and then place a small square fan in front of my window while I sleep. I'm not sure about the exact science behind it, but I like to think that I'm pulling in the cool night air by having the small fan face me. However, allowing the fan to push air
out of the room sounds very logical too… guess you'll just have to experiment to see what works best for you.
