Home Improvement Asked by Duff Duffour Damus on January 3, 2021
I want cool a small room with something that uses less than 2kwh per night with more cooling effect than a simple fan.
The room is on second ground with 2 windows and one door and is about 15m2. I have access to ice. The room is in the Caribbean.
Thank you in advance for your help
I didn't use a simple fan but I bought a Vornado 660, it's a room circulator that can push air 100 feet. I've dropped the temp by a few degrees but it's not cheap.

Alternate 1: Check out these Youtube videos about using ice and a fan to blow cool air around you. There are many designs here.
Alternate 2: Put a cool, damp washcloth on your head, chest, or inside of elbows (there are a lot of veins close to the surface there), have a fan blow on you. This helps cool you down via evaporation, but again, the water will need to be refreshed about every 2 hours. I've done this before when my AC broke.
Alternate 3: Have a rubber bag of ice, put on your head, inside of elbows, or on your chest. Have a cooler next to the bed for 1-2 spare rubber bags filled with ice.
Alternate 4: Have a mister bottle with plain water next to your bed. Spray your self slightly with water and have a fan blow on you to cool you through evaporation. Remist yourself as needed. Do not mist yourself so much that the water drips.
Source: I live in Michigan, it gets hot and humid in the summers. I've tried most of these.
