Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK)

2 hoses in the window that connect to the back of the AC unit.

If it’s blowing cold air into the house, there has to be an equivalent volume of air leaving the house.

Air from room is cooled and that same air is blown back into the room after being cooled.
Air from outside is pulled into AC (does not go into room), gets the heat from the air in the room, then is blown out as exhaust.

Ok, so there is a separate intake and output inside the house for the cold air.
