All – Like many, the top floor of our Brooklyn rowhouse is very hot. I’ve been reading the posts and am interested in the following options:

(1) Installing a fan in our roof hatch to vent the top floor. Although it wouldn’t meet fire or building code, it seems like an easy place to install one, if you could figure out a construction that made it weather-proof. Has anyone explored this? Or can folks recommend a contractor with expertise?
(2) The idea of wind-powered fans to vent the space between the roof and the top floor ceiling sounds smart. Does anyone know of a contractor who installs them? Many thanks!
