Air conditioning for home server room - Ducting some heat out via extraction fan?

euser1984 · 2011-08-08 20:23:23

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…
