Answer 1

block the sun from comeing in dureing the day then at night switch and open all the windows at night all night

Answer 2

close up your house when the sun is out, pull closed the curtins. Then when it is time for bed which should be cooler, and really dark outside, open the windows and let in the cool air. Take a cup of ice that has been chipped and suck on the slivers...take a cool shower, and take a wash rag to your bedroom and soak it in ice water...apply to your pressure points, and relax...you'll be asleep before you know it.

Answer 3

Really?  A fan is effective, and uses very little electricity.

Answer 4

Go swimming in a lake or river. Take your friends and some snacks and hang out all day. I do it all the time, it's a blast.

Answer 5

at night leave a fan right in the window. it'll blow the cool air in and does an even better job than an AC! it uses very VERY little energy.

during the day, keep windows and blinds closed. this'll keep the suns heat from getting in as much.

take a short cool shower

Answer 6

Build earth sheltered homes.

The end result is obvious. The temperature under ground is more constant. Usually in the low 50's (Fahrenheit).

That eliminates the need for air conditioning and reduces the need for heating.

Answer 7

sit in an ice cold bath

open all your windows,

become nocturnal?

go out and get out of the house

cut your hair short.

Answer 8

Sit in the bathtub with cold water.

Go to a mall or movie theater.

Drive around in an air conditioned car. LOL

Move to Alaska or the North Pole. There is always the Canadian Northwest Territories or Siberia.

Put some ice around your neck.

What Xmas or winter movies.

Answer 9

Stay in your birthday suit !!

Answer 10

i use solar convection for 100% of my homes heating/cooling. basically think of a big green house on the south side of your home with black walls and black floor. there are vents on the top and bottum of the inside wall going into my house. when the air in the room heats up the hot air rises up threw the vents in the house, pullling in cooler air from my house. then at night i simply close the vents.

i also use solar aic conditioning in the house. i have a big black metal box on the top of my home that heats up supper hot in the summer time. as hot air rises it sucks the warm  air that's collecting in my cieling, which creates a suction inside the house. i have vents on the floor that are pipes threw the dirt in the front yard which draw in the cool thermal air into the house.
