insulate the tube (wrapping towels around it helps), make sure it’s as short as possible for minimal surface area, and properly seal around the window where the interface is : duct tape will work; just make sure there’s no leakage of outside air back in
that should get you an extra ~2-4C of cooling depending on the size of your space and size of the unit
also, check all the seals around exterior windows and doors too. sealing up those with various methods (duct tape, draft protection on the underside of doors, etc) can get you another few degrees
not only does it improve how well the unit works, but it should save you money whenever you heat or cool your house
The unit actually came with an assortment of very helpful insulation accessories. The tube going to the window is double-walled and it came with sheets of adhesive insulating foam for wrapping it up as well as insulating sheets to stick over the window panel. I did end up using tape (not included) to seal the gaps around the window panel. I would highly recommend this unit to other renters.
