nothing better then home
Finally me and my cousine made a special room for mining rigs 
5 rigs in the room with room temperature arround 34°C. It went crazy 2-3 weeks ago because of the heat.. Room temperature went up to 43°C..

We have the majority of ours in a room out in our barn that was renovated for mining purposes. Thankfully space with adequate ventilation/airflow is not an issue for us at this point. We
re nearing the limit electricity wise for the circuit panel out in the barn, so any significant expansion in the future would require either designating a room in the house for mining or add another panel out in the barn.

If you don't have many miners, keep them home and calculate your electric bills. If you are at a point where it's cheaper to rent a warehouse than to pay high-rate bills, do that !
"Move to commercial space" is often dictated by the limit of noise that it tolerable for home mining, or the limit of heat management, or by the limit of AVAILABLE electric to a particular residence - rates are NOT always lower, and sometimes are HIGHER on "small business" rates vs "residential" rates from a particular power company.

At home, in special room I made, with 24 hours air condition on.
I rent a small commercial space and run the miners in the back of it - the front is my "man cave".
Giga Watt is the most honest hosting service I'm aware of, see me sig or search coindesk for articles about their history. If you find a better offer make sure it's trustworthy there have been cases of "hosting companies" stealing everyone's equipment. Avoid cloud mining companies like the plague, they are either scam or you will never ROI which is basically scam.
basement. Renting a space wouldnt be worth it right now.
At home and of course have a special room to run the mine machine.
At my office. Here government charge a lot for residential electricity usage.
Do you own the office business?
In the begining my rigs was all around house, almost in every room
But now that is imposible

Renting warehouse space. Commercial property offers some wholesale pricing for bulk electricity which helps.
Used to mine at home, then rented a place for my miners. Hoping to move up to an light industrial unit soon for even cheaper electricity.
I'm storing my miner in my room.
I'm storing my miner in my parent's basement because of low ambient temp (cards run ~55°C), however I'm adapting one storage room in our family company to make small (up to 10 rigs) mining facility.
Power cost is a biggest deal here, I've got something around 0.10-11$ per kWh (thanks god parents have their company at home, so bill goes on company's costs), so right now my monthly electricity bill is around 16-17$ per 1080ti card running on skein (210W ea).
Your best bet is tweaking your card settings (i.e my card does 970mh on 100% tdp - up to 280W from wall, but it can also run 940 on 75% TDP with 210W). You need to decide if it's better for you to have more coins at higher electricity bill (with future possible increase in price of mined coin), or getting less but paying less for them (meaning nearly 'optimal' results).

What are your tips to lessen the heat of every graphic cards that are on for mining ? , do you guys prefer ventelation or rather to use aircon? , im running msi gtx 960 because it has large heat-pipes i hope it will not last , and i place it in our basement so it wont be affected that much heat of the sun. Next thing is do you pay alot of money for electricity ? .. well my mining rig takes alot of money from me every month. Do you guys have any suggest to lessen the power consumption ? or it will really stay like that high ?
basement, very hot and noisy.
We made a special "mining room" and keep them there 
) Temperatures in the room is arround 35°C +/- 2°C.. it depends on the weather.. Gpu's running on 64-70°C 24/7

I still keep my lonely miner at home, used to keep them at home when they were 2 full rigs too, sold one because temps were getting too high for my liking.
