We're using the window procedure to keep our house near Boston cool, and it definitely works. Most of the time it's sufficient (except when I turn on the 3x24" monitors...), but when there's a heat spell and nighttime temps don't drop below 22C or so, it heats up to a very uncomfortable level over a few days and we have to use the AC at least to keep the bedroom at a reasonable temperature.

It would be cool if you could automate a system like that with window sensors, multiple temperature sensors around the house, and the ability to automatically enable/disable the A/C and the attic fan.
It could text/email/call you to open the windows, and not stop bothering you until it detects the windows are open.
