    Why do Chinese run the air conditioning with the windows open?

    Happens at both my office, and my gym.  Luckily, I have my own office sometimes shared with one other person, and we keep the windows closed....because eff this summer heat!  But at the gym, unless I'm standing directly underneath one of the A/C vents....I might as well be exercising in the 7th circle of hell .  I really don't get it...I'm absolutely drenched in sweat after less than 10 minutes on the exercise bike, and the gym "instructors" are wearing long pants, sometimes with a light jacket?  Why even run the A/C if you're just gonna blast it out the windows?

    Air conditioning and heating systems are commonly used in both residential and commercial buildings, and are commonly controlled by thermostats. However, people using these systems may leave doors or windows open for fresh air or other reasons, therefore causing the air conditioning or heating system to operate at a nearly continuous level. This continuous operation of the air conditioning or heating system creates high electricity consumption and maintenance costs because leaving the door or window open will prevent the environment from reaching the temperature setting for the thermostat. This problem is especially acute in hotels and resort vacation rental facilities in which occupants are not responsible for, and probably are unaware of, high electricity, repair and maintenance costs. These costs are therefore borne by the owner or operator of the hotel, rental facility, or other building. Lack of knowledge may be one of the reason why Chinese do so.
