    Hope this is the right area, mods feel free to move.

    I have a room approx 50 cubic metre. It is south facing, third floor, and becomes unbearable hot by lunch. As I work from this room I really need to cool it.
    Could anyone suggest:
    The best and simplest way to cool the room.
    Suggest by PM people that may like to do this sort of work
    I am in central Dublin
    All help appreciated,
    Work

    Your best bet is a small wall mounted Air conditioning unit. You'll need some space or a wall outside where you can mount the outdoor unit. There are tons of companies in dublin doing this work.

    Can you ventilate it in any way? Air conditioning is certainly an option, but ventilating with vents or a fan might work. The problem with the air conditioning is going to be how to mount the external unit so high up (although maybe it is on a top floor with a flat roof?)

    it you are on the top floor and it is a flat roof, painting the roof silver might do some good.

    The room is well ventilated. Its a georgian building very large window but no insulation so very hot or cold depending on outside temp. I do not own it and only work there a few hours a week so need a simple answer. There is no availability of a flat roof but a hole has already been cut in the wall as many years ago someone else had an airconditioning unit there.

    The simple answer might be a large free standing air conditioning unit with an exhaust hose which you could push out through the hole. Not as good as the proper outdoor air conditioner but cheaper and easier to install.

    Window film might help with solar gain.
