You can cool a room without air conditioning by using window coverings to reduce heat gain, painting the walls a lighter colour to reflect heat away, or placing vegetation around the home to cool the environment through evapotranspiration.

Other ways include drinking cold water, applying ice towels, or donning wet clothing. Immersing the feet in cold water and self-dowsing with a spray bottle or sponge can also improve thermal comfort.
