I called an electrician; he suggested that an exhaust fan and a
thermostat should solve the problem after proper wall insulation.
Then I called a HAVC expert and basically he told me that he couldn=92t
help and most likely I needed a server farm expert instead. He guessed
that a dedicated air conditioner could help but that doesn=92t sound
like the optimal solution to me.

I will try to ask a build contractor as you suggest and see if we can
find a more effective solution.

I finished the wiring part and already started to install the fiber
glass on the walls (I had to remove the drywall and put it back
again). However I don=92t have a construction permit yet neither for the
multimedia wiring or to re-build the walls; do you happen to know what
should I do now? If I request a construction permit at this point,
will I have a penalty for not doing it in advanced?
