There are times that a room or small space needs to be cooled and there is no windows to install window mounted unit. When this happens there are a few options depending on your budget and HVAC skill set. Lets take a look at a few options for how to cool a room that has no windows. Cut Out a Hole (Not recommended) A hole can be cut out and a window mounted A/C unit installed. This is not professional and often makes a home look a bit shanty but does work. A professional HVAC person would install a Mini Split system (see next option on list) and not bother with a window type unit. It still is quite common as it is straight to the point that most anyone can understand. I cant suggest anyone do this but we all have been short on money and what doesn’t work for one person may work for another. For a professional install of a HVAC system into a windowless room a Mini Split system is the best option. They do require more knowledge to install than a package window unit but are much more efficient, quit, and long term HVAC solution.

They are called mini splits since the two main components of the system the evaporator coil and condenser are separated. A copper line-set is run between the two components taking heat with it. Most mini split units are also heat pumps so they will both cool in the summer and heat in the winter. While it is suggested that a professional be hired to install a mini split there are DIY kits that are sold that allows anyone to install a unit. Read here for more on a Do-It-Yourself Mini Split install. Portable cooling units are also a option. There are two types of portable unit evaportative and standard air conditioning Evaportative type units work good when there is no humidity. They also dont need a opening to the outside making them ideal in dry climates. Air conditioner portable units require a vent hose be fed outside to pump out hot air. Both type types of units have there advantages and disadvantages depending on the scenario. Read Here for a Full Review on Portable Units for Rooms with No Windows.

There are several different methods for cooling a room with no windows. The best option is to install a Mini Split unit which is the way a professional HVAC person will suggest it be done. Portable units are also a option although unless you live in a dry climate a hose attachment will still need to be run outside. With the many different methods and styles of A/C units there is no doubt at least one way that will fit your budget and keep a room cool. Since there are so many variables to take into consideration often the best solutions can be found reading reviews on Amazon or in the forums to see what others have done and how it worked for them.Report item - opens in a new window or tab Sep 19, 2016 16:51:40 PDTRead moreabout the condition DescriptionThe Amana APN12JR 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner is ideal for situations where installing a standard air conditioner isn't cost effective or possible.

Ten schools that did not have air conditioning at the end of the last school year will have it this year. But there are still residents who remain upset with how the county has addressed the issue of air conditioning in schools because their children must continue to deal with excessive heat when the temperature rises.The schools that will have new air conditioning this school year include Carney, Chase, Hawthorne, Joppa View, Scotts Branch and Villa Cresta elementary schools, Sudbrook Magnet Middle School and Halstead Academy, along with the new Catonsville Elementary and Westowne Elementary.

Halstead is due to have the project complete in a few weeks.There are still 37 of the county’s 173 schools that still do not have air conditioning, according to county figures.Read: Complete list of Baltimore County Public Schools without air conditioningState Sen. Johnny Ray Salling (R-Dundalk), said many people in his district, which includes much of eastern Baltimore County, feel neglected by the county. Of the schools still without air conditioning, eight are in Dundalk, and another six are in the Essex-Middle River area.“Once again, teachers will be challenged to learn in overheated rooms where both teaching and learning are nearly impossible …” Salling wrote in a letter to Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz. “For far too long, students, teachers and staff have endured a learning environment that is hostile to both their health and their development."High temperatures in classrooms hinder instruction (and) pose a hazard to students and teachers. High temperature days in the beginning and end of the school year disrupt schedules when schools are forced to close in consideration of health.”

Kamenetz and school officials have stressed that they are sensitive to the needs of those in schools without air conditioning and are continuing to work toward making sure all existing elementary and middle schools have air conditioning by fall 2017, while students at Berkshire and Colgate elementary schools in Dundalk will have air conditioning in 2020 and 2021, respectively, when they move into new buildings.County officials said all of the high schools are expected to have air conditioning by the start of the 2018-19 school year. Patapsco, Dulaney, Woodlawn and Lansdowne will be air conditioned by 2019 because those schools are set for major renovations.Pete Dixit, the executive director of the Office of Physical Facilities for Baltimore County Public Schools said 34 schools have had air conditioning installed in the last four years.Five years ago, only 48 percent of county schools were air conditioned. Now, that figure has increased to 85 percent, Kamenetz said."Installing air conditioning in schools is a complicated process when it is done to an existing building," Dixit said.

"It's a relatively easy process when the building is new. We've accomplished a lot in a short time."Kamenetz said the county has expedited many of the projects by adding $83 million in spending. The installation of air conditioning is part of the county’s $1.3 billion “School for Our Future” initiative. The plan, which was launched in 2011, includes the construction of 15 new schools and building additions for 11 other schools.The decision by Kamenetz to expedite the air conditioning projects came after the state Board of Public Works voted in May to withhold $10 million in school construction funds from Baltimore County and Baltimore City unless the jurisdictions agreed to install portable air conditioning units in all classrooms where there is no central air conditioning.The 2-1 vote was led by Gov. Larry Hogan and Comptroller Peter Franchot, who have been critical of the county’s handling of dealing with excessive heat in classrooms.“The conditions teachers and students must work in when the temperature rises is unacceptable,” Franchot said.

“These schools are forced to work in unsafe conditions, and this issue is completely correctable in the short term until central air conditioning is installed.“This is discrimination where poor kids in Baltimore City and Baltimore County don’t have air conditioning and rich kids and middle class kids do. It’s a violation of civil rights, in my opinion. I’m glad progress is being made, but we have been asking the county to do the right thing for six years now.”Kamenetz has stressed that his administration has worked to address the air conditioning concerns in schools and said installing window units is not fiscally responsible or feasible in many cases.County officials said that after factoring in costs to bid electrical upgrades and state procurement costs for window units, they believe that they can install central air in the same time frame it would take to install window units."Our students and teachers deserve a climate-controlled and energy-efficient central air conditioning system, and not window units from Home Depot, as suggested by the governor and comptroller,” Kamenetz said in a statement in May.

“Despite the fiscally irresponsible suggestion by Gov. Hogan that Baltimore County waste money on temporary window air conditioning units, we insist on installing central air systems.”County school officials also recently adopted a new heat policy for closing schools.The policy gives the superintendent authority to close schools when the heat index is forecast to reach 90 degrees.The measure also requires the closing early announcement to be made no later than 8 p.m. the day before the closure.Additionally, it allows students to carry water bottles at all times and gives principals flexibility to move students to cooler rooms.The policy goes into effect Aug. 23 in five ZIP codes where school buildings are currently without air conditioning: : Dundalk 21222, Carney/Parkville 21234, Lutherville-Timonium 21093 and Catonsville 21228.Lily Rowe is a parent of students in Baltimore County schools who formed the Facebook group BCPS Parents & Teachers for Equitable Facilities & Portable AC, which has more than 1,800 members.

She said Kamenetz is doing a disservice to county schools by not at least considering portable air conditioning units in some circumstances.Rowe said for many school, especially in the poorer communities in the county, the lack of air conditioning is just one of many structural problems within a school building.By retrofitting older buildings with central air conditioning, Rowe said, it will be decades before the county or the state will consider replacing those buildings, which is needed in many cases. Parents and Lansdowne and Dulaney are among those that have echoed those concerns."What we have is facilities inequities in the county which leads to instructional inequities," Rowe said. "Utilizing portable air conditioning units is the short term would address the immediate needs of the students and faculty and staff in those schools while freeing up capital funds in the long-term to address the need of replacing aging schools that really need a wrecking ball taken to them."Salling said he understands that portable air conditioning units are a temporary fix, but he believes that the health of those at the non-air conditioned schools is worth the short-term investment.“
