[Ventilation is important] Many types of home air conditioners do not have a ventilation function, so open a window to ventilate the room. opening windows in two directions will increase the ventilation effect. To reduce changes in room temperature, open a window in an unoccupied room and use two-stage ventilation to bring fresh air into an occupied room via the hallway.
