    This definitely works, I've been doing this for a few years and haven't used my AC in 3 years. I live in a 2 story house, so my fan points outside from an upstairs window, and the other window is open downstairs. Since warm air naturally rises, I don't bother with a downstairs fan pointing upstairs, and my house in the morning can be pretty chilly. People look at me strangely when I try to explain this technique, so I will definitely be sharing this video.

    • @Polarcupcheck

      How long does it take to see temperature drops? Been trying this at different distances from the window, and I can only get the hallway to drop about 1 degree after 2 hours. This is with 76 outside an 85 inside. I can get it to drop to 84.

    One note: If you are at home during the hot day, bear in mind, that every piece of electronics you use, creates additional heat, that will accumulate in your house over time. Using electronics, that has high temperatures in load (like a PC/laptop/console during gaming sessions, owen, kettle, etc.), will eventually build up the heat inside - as there is hotter outside, the heat will just keep accumulating - you might end up in an enviroment with much higher temperature, than outside temperature.
    Also, sometimes it´s actually better to leave your windows open during the day, even tho the temperature outside is much higher. The difference between outer and inner pressure will make the air move, making the high temperatures more bearable.

    This is great advice for people who live in areas that actually get cool at night. I *really* wish I could just keep out the heat during the day and then air out the house at night and skip the AC altogether most days. No such luck in the southern US where our summer "lows" are 75F with near 100% humidity.
    Works great for about one week in April and another week in October, though!

    Most window fans have both an intake and exhaust setting. Place the fan facing inward in your bedroom and set it on intake and it will pull in the cool night air just as well as the method described here. Works when you don't have access to a window located across the house.

    BTW: This fan-technique works 100%. After the sunset, you must place it approx. 1.4m from the window and direct it to the bottom of your window (in any room facing south at the top floor), since the hot air goes up. Open your windows facing north at all floors. Get roller mosquito nets for your windows! Done.

    I figured this out for myself decades ago in a house that got particularly hot in a hot arid environment. We used swamp coolers so the windows needed to be open for it to work well but for some reason, suction of air out the window didn't occur. So, I placed a fan blowing out the window of the hottest room and it worked well for us.

    0:30 pick room to cool, open window to let cool air in. 0:42 across the house open window and point a fan outward to blow warm air out and create a low pressure system in house sucking cool air in through the first open window. obviously you need window screens and obviously the outside air must be cooler than the inside air by 5F+ to feel any benefit.

    Moving up to Washington, from California, I was really alarmed that homes don't have A/C up here. "Oh it doesn't get hot in WA, you'll be fine." Then it immediately goes up to over 100. It was warmer here than in my hometown. Granted, I'm well aware that's not normal, but I just have the worst luck in the world. I will be using these tips, to help out in the more mild heat we now have.

      Well, the humidity thing is the same for Korea, but at least it does not reach 38C at night. I think during the day, on the hottest summer day, it may reach 38 occasionally (but mostly below 36). But during the night, the temperature usually drops below 30. However, the sad fact is that I think the apartment building somehow retains the heat of the day. It is 22 o'clock, and it is supposed to be 29C outside (according to the Internet), but the room temperature is still 34F.

    From a lifetime of experiencing Australian heatwaves, a hot land.
    Proper insulation is something often overlooked and it really does a big job (without extra cost when you have it in place.) And especially when AC is an issue either the cost or not having any. Insulation will lessen costs of heating in winter too. With climate crisis now, insulating properly is now more important. It will get worse, so put work into insulating your living space properly - it is your refuge.
    Temperature transfer is most between roof and windows. Roof insulation is first priority. A heat removing fan can also help in roof space.
    Keep sun off windows BEFORE IT ENTERS, with external blinds (cheapest are bamboo ones). Using light internal blinds does not help as much because the "glasshouse effect" has already happened, heating the air in the home as sunlight enters through glass.
    But if can't have external blinds, you can make the internal blinds more insulating first by having a pull down blind that close fits the window space. We also have heavy (reflecting backed) drapes that can close the windows off more. Less mobile air in trapped window space acts like an insulator. The major insulating measures of roof and windows really do slow the house gaining heat in summer and loosing heat in winter. The more you insulate the more effective are things like fans, and the cheaper it all is. Once you have good insulation going it is forever. No more costs for it once it is in and paying you well back. Get things closed up early in the morning on heatwave days.

    2: ALWAYS make sure that the humidity is always between 30% -50% in the room! Too low humidity because of the dry air of the airco can cause dry skin, an irritated dry throat that makes you susceptible to viruses, and you can end up with a serious bad cold!

    Lookup "whole house fan". They were very common in the days before ubiquitous air conditioning.
    Also, most two story air conditioned houses are running on a single zone heating/cooling system with the thermostat on the first floor. They are designed to heat, not cool (using the word "designed" generously here). When used to cool the upstairs, a large temperature gradient develops between upstairs and downstairs (where the single thermostat is installed). This happens because most of the air return and supply is happening on first floor and that cool air never rises to the second floor (in the winter heating season the hot air does rise, so it works fine). When cooling, to get 22 C upstairs the thermostat, downstairs, has to be set to a lower temperature - possibly much lower depending on the layout of the house and the size of air vents. Resolve that by restricting the lower floor return vents (assuming you upstairs return vents) and first floor supply vents. That will pull more stale hot air from the second floor and push more cool air directly upstairs. That upstairs cool air will naturally sink to the first floor and the end result will be uniform temperature. It's a hack, but it's easy and works really well. I do this to my house at the beginning of every cooling season. Don't heat the house when configured like this, in fact, shut off the gas while configured like this to ensure you don't accidentally heat.
    p.s. Houses should be designed with two zone heating/cooling systems to begin with. It's not a huge additional expense if done when the house is built.

    You can also do this if you have central air by using just the circulator. If you open a window in one or two rooms you aren't using and close those doors while opening the window in the room you want to cool leaving its door open to the rest of the house, the air in those closed rooms will be forced outside and you'll pull air in through the window that is open to the rest of the house and the circulator system. You might even want to use towels or some other material under the closed door edge to cut down on the leakage under the door.

    Electric fans don't move a lot of air, even swinging a door back and forth moves more air than a table fan or even a standing fan. Open windows on walls that are at right angles to each other, this means that at whatever direction the wind is blowing, the pressure at one window will be greater than the other and air will flow through the house. This is actually how planes measure their airspeed by having openings at right angles to each other and measuring the pressure difference. If you have multiple floors, use the stack effect and open both upper and lower floor windows letting heat move the air for you. Ultimately, evaporation is the way to remove heat. Watering your lawn can lower the temperature a lot, watering your roof could reduce the heat in your home quickly but could also cause a lot of damage due to calcification, an anti-sediment filter could help prevent damage. Wearing an evaporative vest or just wrapping a slightly damp towel around yourself can help you tolerate the worst heat.

    What if your room faces the sun for the longest part of the day? Do I leave my windows open or not? I’ve tired that before and it just heats the house up more. Is there something I’m missing?

      Fan was drawing warmer air surrounding the building created by the sun. Push air out of the window from the warmest area/room when outside wind not blowing against the fan. If the room ihumidity is 10L capacity).

    This is a ranch and it’s a finished basement with carpeting it was 82° down there very well insulated however I need to lower the temperature I’m keeping the humidity between 45 and 50 always this will reduce any chances of mold building. But I need to get the temperature down fast I bought an industrial fan and the attic door has a solid door and screen door option to use what I need to know is how do I get the temperatures down when it’s so hot outside it matches

      if there's a fire, you got bigger problems. but if you mean smoke from distant fire, indeed a problem. you need to keep the windows shut and buy a $400 AC or $200 build an ice chest DIY cooler. many videos.
