An energy saving air conditioning trick.

Today was a lovely warm day. I thought I might try out my new air conditioner, but it wasn't really that warm. I do like retrofitting things so I decided to try just putting a small fan, that I have, in the air tube that the conditioner uses with the window. Just that works well for bringing cool evening air into my apartment without even using the air conditioner itself.

My apartment doesn't have a cross breeze as both windows are on one side, yet it stays fairly cool being on the north side of the building. This little hose fan setup gives the airflow a boost.

My power bill is covered by my rent, but it is good to think about energy saving solutions anyway.
