  For the most part, air-conditioning only works well when the air is circulating. Sure, you can always force an AC to just blow cold air into a room, but that's not terribly efficient. It works far better when air can enter and leave a room.
  
  With that said, if you have AC on, you need to keep the doors and windows closed. If the AC is off (for whatever reason) and it is warm, I would open the windows just to at least get some air flow. It won't exactly feel as cool as air-conditioning (although I guess that depends on where you live) but that way the heat will be able to move.
  
  Of course, like I said earlier much of this depends on where you live and how the weather is.
