beating summer heat sans air conditioning
I have a variation of the above "stay cool" practice which admittedly is not the most energy-efficient. This practice has me running the fans all night to the point where the temperature in my room dips to about 58 degrees F (14 degrees C ) and I'm curled up underneath the quilt. And then, right before I leave, I shut all the windows and close the door. It works.
