It's always crazy to me how much variation there is in energy use. For every person/business pulling out all the stops to try to shave a few extra kWh off their utilization fretting over leaving their cell phone chargers plugged in there's a store running a giant AC on full blast with the doors wide open to try to entice customers in with the cold air. I had an ex whose family had a giant house and all summer long they just ran the AC at max with the sliding glass wall open to keep the pool area cool.

Bizarrely, this does have the effect of keeping the chilled air inside the building.
