3 Ways to Keep a Room Cool – wikiHow

To keep a room cool, try placing a bowl of ice cubes in front of a fan, which will create a nice, cool breeze in the room. You can also set up one fan that’s blowing air out a window and another fan that’s sucking air in, which will increase airflow in the room and make a nice cross breeze.
