Hello Greta and everyone else
My brother said that when he was in Iraq, whilst the Americans where
inflating their 5 star accommodation with air con, the British where
armed with a paint brush and a tub of white paint, which they painted
the outside of their tents, apparently this then reflects the sun.
also as its a hanger could they not have vents in the roof that open
and this can act like a chimney for the hot air, I do this in the summer
with my loft hatch and it cools the air by about 2-3 degrees. okay not
brilliantly technical solutions or the name of company but they may
help.

Hi Folks
Does anyone have a contact for a specialist dealing with 'solar gain' ?
For those who do not know what we mean by 'solar gain' it is when the
sun heats a room via the windows. There are various, every day methods
of stopping this - using blinds/shutters/microfilm - however when it is
a large aircraft hanger it is not that easy - especially when its my
local gym and so I have been asked if I can help. Air con is not an
option as various companies have sucked their teeth and gone away; so
any ideas on companies/specialists who deal with this would be useful.
Regards, Greta
