If you hang wet towels in a room, it cools down the room → We could put water/something wet underneath the window where the air enters. That way, the breeze cools down even more because of the water. You could put water in an angle, so it cools down even more air

The design of the windows block sunlight. On the side that blocks put solar panels. The solar panels could convert energy to cool/power that dorm room. Each dorm room will have these windows so each dorm room could have their own individual sustainable power supply.
