My place was an average of 10 degrees cooler than another condos in the building.

This might answer the question I had always had with my old condo. We had an air vent in all our units (bathroom usually) that were "always on" (no fan, just duct). Suction was literally strong enough to suck and hold a half full tissue box. People used to ask me all the time if I had AC in that north facing unit because it was nice and cool to the point it was almost chilly in the summer. There was no AC built into the building, but I'm guessing the breeze and venting of the heated air kept the unit cool.
This idea is worth considering IMO.
