Hi

Is this sentence natural?

With the door left ajar, a good amount of air-conditioning left the room.

or

With the door left ajar, a good amount of air-conditioning escaped the room.

Thanks,

No, you wouldn't say that "air-conditioning" escaped or left the room. Logically it would be "conditioned air" that escaped, though you would hardly say that either. You could say that "cool air" or "warm air" escaped the room.
