WFH is not so great...the heat

Hi ,
I am currently working from home designing and building a PSU.
However, i am in a 5th floor flat, and due to insurance, the window only opens about 4cm and thats only at the bottom bit, and its really hot in the room.
Do you think the best way to cool it down would be to buy a ducted fan and have the duct tube opening high up in the room (because hot air rises) and let the fan push the hot air out of the gap in the window via the ducting tube?

What power of fan would be best?...the room is some 3 metres by 8 metres by 3 metres high.
The whole corridor is sweltering aswell because of all the fire doors which totally stop any kind of draft.
 
You have to be careful that the heat from the motor doesn't add additional heat load in the room.

I can see why they limit the window opening - if I was living in a fifth floor apartment with no A/C, I'd definitely jump.

In the UK Home A/C is extremely rare, and to be honest, only rarely needed - heating is more important.

Car wise it's pretty common though, and I wouldn't buy a car without it these days.
