Roof vent

 I have a small unfinished walk-in attic in my house in NY.  It shares a wall
with an upstairs bedroom as well as part of the hallway.  There is a small
double-hung wooden window at the far end of the attic space that I keep
partly open for ventilation purposes.  The walls and ceiling (which is the
underside of the roof) had foil-faced insulation put in between the joists
by the previous owner (for whatever reason).
I have black roofing tiles on and the inside temperature during the summer
months is quite high.  Sometimes I even put a dual fan in the attic window
for a few hours (on a thermostst) to exhaust the inside air.

I was thinking of maybe putting in a roof vent or even one of those turbine
fans on the roof.

Any thougths?

Thanks,
Walter

 

Put up a turbine. A decent 12" one with ball bearings will do a great job.

If you want to do it properly just installing turbine may not be enough.
If you wnat to exhaust, you have to inhale. Simple law of physics.

The OP says he has an open window in the room. That will do quite nicely.

 Thanks for the suggestions!
