keeping babys room cool during summer

[human bean]

Yep I figure in a WA summer I'm going to be battling to keep her room as cool as the low 20's, I'm happy if I can keep it round 25/26 and dress accordingly. Short of putting refridgerated air con in her room (we have evap) I won't be able to keep it down, and I don't particularly want her to sleep in a cool room then come out in to a hotter house, that makes me all funky in summer so I wouldn't want to do it to her. Hope that makes sense!

I have never worried about the exact temp in the boys' rooms. It is probably low 20s at night but summer days it would definitely be hotter than that. We don't have aircon, just ceiling fans, and I have no intention of getting air con. I just keep them dressed in a similar fashion to what keeps me comfortable when it is hot and have the fans on the speed I need them and they have always been fine.

This is from the Ergon Energy website:

The most comfortable and energy-efficient temperature setting for summer air conditioning is 25°C. Dropping a degree or two could turn up the heat on your power bill.
