I often get a sore throat when in airconditioned rooms, especially in smaller rooms. But it is not as bad as it used to be. Don't know if my body changed or the ACs became better. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] uis@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Then you can add humidity permalink fedilink source parent [–] pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) Oh? My workplace has one of these that you fill with water that then cools the water and very slowly sprays it into the air, mixed with air of course. Works well to make the room cooler, but even in the manual it says that it shouldn't be running all the time because the increased humidity can cause mold. So which kind of air conditioning are you using? (and even when it decreases humidity the other reasons still stand) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] gmtom@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (3 children) That's not air con, that's a swamp cooler. Air-conditioning works by the same mechanism your fridge does. And the cool coils condense water vapour in the air, thus reducing humidity. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago Interesting, thanks. permalink fedilink source parent [–] uis@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Air-conditioning works by the same mechanism your fridge does.

This right here is the bare minimum as to why education is so important. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago* Just so you know, there are places where people live differently from you. Would you expect the same level of knowledge about keeping a house warm at the equator? Because I'd argue you need to better your education if you do. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago I'm living in an area where AC is completely unnecessary. About +15°C in warm summer nights (that's when I open my windows to let fresh air in), +30°C peak but all houses here are well-insulated (they have to be because of winter). Of course it's different in the USA, you have higher temperatures and don't insulate your houses (a well-insulated house keeps its temperature: it stays warm in winter and cool in summer). permalink fedilink source parent [–] uis@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Also if room is too humid it stops working permalink fedilink source parent
