I was planning to try tenting like the guy does in this video.

I have been exhausting heat, but don't have the miners isolated like he does. In the video he mentions being able to go from 2 air conditioning units down to 1.

Just isolate your rigs from ambient temp. for ex. if You are building your rigs in a casing then put some kind of mnifold intake to one side of your rigs case and let it breath ex. from outside of your rig-house/room then lead some tube outlet (hot air) to other room or other side keeping some distance between intake and outlet. You may let your cards breath air from the room you keep them, but you necessarily need to lead hot air flow out from your rig environment for ex. fan on your house vent tubing or something.
The worst thing to do when building rigs is building them like most popular now on free-standing opened frame, cuz you need to keep that environment clean off dust, good air quality and specified humidity. The best thing for it is building air-flow-case like server cases are done.

In hot countries, often use a cellar to install a mining farm. The deeper the cellar, the more cold. You can also do Undervolting your GPU or install water cooling.One million options!)
What temperature are your GPU's currently at? Anything below 65-ish should be fine.
Also.. agreed with randomduck, seems like it could be a bit costly, when the whole idea with mining is to get your ROI as quickly as possible.

I can see where you're coming from with this idea, but to me, it just seems like a lot of work, and will cost you a lot of money as a result?
Have you not looked at any alternative methods? Is it really necessary to remove the whole window panel? It just seems a bit overkill if you ask me.

I live in South Florida and as you can imagine, it can get hot here during most times of the year. I recently put together my second and third rigs and I'm worried about the heat that they will generate as we start to move in the warmer months. I'm a homeowner of a condominium. I was thinking of having an electrician come over and wire one of my guest bedrooms up to house all of my rigs. The guest bedroom in question has a sliding glass door in it to my patio/laundry room. I was thinking of maybe removing one of the panels and installing a vent there. Has anyone turned a sliding glass door into a immobile panel with a vent? I've people do this with a window panel, and I think that's the best option, but I don't have a window in this particular room.
The other option is to underclock all my rigs (all NVIDIA) for three-quarters of the year down to 60% power and hope my house doesn't become a sauna.
EDIT: What about using a pet door insert in the sliding glass door unit? Something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ideal-Pet-7-in-x-11-25-in-Medium-White-Aluminum-Pet-Patio-Door-Fits-93-75-in-to-96-5-in-Tall-Sliding-Glass-Alum-Door-96PATMW/100254654
I'm thinking the Condominium Association probably wouldn't even notice or care about something like this and I can keep my current sliding glass doors in place. I could see something like this being used to push all the hot air out. Thoughts?
