How hot is too hot to go out? Exercise and outside time are crucial, but it gets really hot out there? How do you keep your yorkie cool?

How hot is too hot inside? I live in a pretty big pre-war apartment that does not have central air, so I have an air conditioner for each room. It's way too expensive and extravagantly wasteful for the environment to have them all running if I'm only in one room, but I don't want Moxie to go in another part of the house and get too hot. Suggestions? The living room/ dining room is where she usually hangs out, but I don't know if it's responsible to keep that huge space cool when no one else is home or using it. At the same time, I don't want to confine her. Would she move if she were uncomfortably hot?
