A venue, in preparation for an event, e.g., dancing, which is expected to rapidly become quite warm, places a large amount of material with high thermal mass earlier, and cools it over a long period. The air conditioner might not be able to handle the sudden heat spike, but could handle cooling the material over hours or days. When the hot event happens, the high thermal mass absorbs heat and slows the rate of the temperature change.
Rentable stacks of bricks filled with water. Does the heat transfer occur passively fast enough? Perhaps need some active mechanism.
Morw ambitiously, use not water but some other substance that undergoes a phase transition at the boundary between "comfortable" and "uncomfortable" temperatures. Need to take special care to avoid toxic leaks.
