Temperature is an English word which very poorly describes the complexities of the physical world. Therefore it is a "non-definitive conceptual representation which is defined relative to the desired outcome of the theory"...to quote my old physics professor.

A common misconception about HVAC air flow is that you need "back pressure" to make it work. Service techs will often close air dampers just to build pressure because they've been taught that pressure differential is the key to air flow. But efficiency demands mass flow which is reduced with...

The west window is likely the best location due to wind, which I assume still blows from the west in NYC. In zero wind the sun becomes the major factor due to radiant heat, but remember that the a/c unit condenser fan is using convective heat distribution for cooling, therefore the greater the...
