Blinds also help a lot as other people have mentioned. Close them before the sun directly hits the windows.

next time don't lease an apt with 20 foot ceilings and three more rooms than you need. Or is this a loft? If this is a loft, you're fucking retarded if you're pissed about HVAC.

Turn off the AC and open some windows.

Shade. Try to prevent direct sunlight from getting into your windows.

First thing's first... Set the temperature at a reasonable temp. Anything under 72 is too cold. And every degree you increase it saves a chunk of change.

Secondly, throttle your system. When you leave for the day raise the temp by at least 5 degrees.

Thirdly, sun. A lot of thermal energy comes in through the windows. Blocking it with white-backed curtains will do a lot in the way of reducing energy usage.

Fourthly, moving the air around you will increase the apparent cooling effect of the conditioned air. That is to say a room at 75 with a small fan going can be more comfortable than a room at 70.

And finally, clothing. You're in your house, the shades are drawn, remove clothes or wear lighter clothing.
