During the day it is just hot.
At night, it is actually nice and cool outside.
But inside, it still remains warm. The air that has been heated just doesn’t leave and lingers. I don’t have the entire floor of my building to myself, so I can’t open windows on opposite sides of my home to get a cross breeze.
I decided to experiment.
My theory is that if I can get the place filled with cool air at night, and then close it up and darken the place during the day, my condo will remain cooler.
So, to test my hypothesis, I’ve constructed a do-it-yourself air conditioner. Using the A/C term liberally. My fan only moves the stagnant hot air around inside, but never really does a good job of replacing it with the outside cool air. So, I took some garbage bags and made a large tube. One end is attached to the output of my fan, the other is attached to a window leading outside.
I’ve now opened up all the windows in other rooms. So, in theory, the fan will pump out the warm air from one distant window, and cool outside air will waft in from others all night. Then tomorrow morning, I will close all the windows and hope it stays cool.
Heat has made me desperate.
