Ridge vent?

If not, I have heard of “irrigating” any roof with piping/fine-spray-nozzles whereby the water to the pipes gets turned on by a thermostat. Keeps the roof cool depending upon the temperature of the thermostat setting.

Again, thanks for the replies, everyone. Really helpful.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a huge budget for this project, so many of the more permanent fixes are out of our price range for now, though they are good recommendations.

I suppose the guy we had finish the room didn’t install insulation because the the lights needed to vent. Back when we first finished the room, before the present heyday of energy-saving lights, the lights in those cans generated enormous amounts of heat.

If we do put down spray insulation, I’ll be sure to see about getting a moisture barrier to keep mold away.

I’ll be coming back to this thread as we consider other fixes, too.

For now, I think we’re going to do the window film and the foam circles in the cans.

Thanks freepers!
