    Hi,
    The machines in my room are going to be putting out 5kWh of heat. Could I extract alot of the heat into the attic from the exhausts on the servers thus reduce air conditioning power required?

    I could then use that extracted heat for the house or let it exit via the (can't think of name).

    Anyway would this work?

    Thanks a mill.

    5KW?

    Thats 3,600 kwh a month or about 500-600 euro a month of a power bill ....
