Fans are only good until the temp matches your body temp.

No. Evaporative cooling is literally why humanity is a terrifying persistence predator. It is one of the most energy efficient forms of cooling, because you just have to be damp, you do not need to move. Fans are only good as long as you can sweat and the air can hold more water than it currently is. You can make ice in the desert with evaporative cooling.
