This is possible, but there's not much point to it. Instead of conditioning the air of the room you're in, you're starting to condition the air of the outside world as well, resulting in the room you're in getting warmer.

If you want the room to be warmer, increase the temperature set on the air conditioner instead. Not only will this cut down the cost of your electric bill, but it is also more environmentally friendly.

If you are trying to cool your home or room to a temperature that is lower than the temperature outside, then the electricity needed will be much greater if the window is open. So, in short, yes.AnswerOn a warm day, leaving your windows open will allow warm air to replace the air that your air conditioner just worked to cool. Thus, your air conditioner will have to continue to run, which uses electricity, to re-cool this air. Of course, using more electricity will cost you more money.
