Turn Off the Fan! A fan has no cooling property whatsoever regarding cooling a room. It acts to mix the air and it can increase the rate of heat transfer between a hot/cold object and the room air by increasing flow. But the fan does not remove heat or make a room more cool. If you are in the room you will feel cooler, because heat is leaving your body faster due to flow (if the air temperature is below your skin temperature). In fact, having a fan in a room will actually keep the room warmer due to rotational mechanical energy being converted to heat through friction and Electrical energy being converted to heat through resistance in what is referred to as I^2R Loss.
