The internal body temperature of a rat is higher than that of a human. You should also note that they're endothermic and thus, like most animals, are far less sensitive to temperature than reptiles or amphibians. They're fine at room temperature.
If it gets to the point where you're uncomfortable (like during an ungodly hot heat wave) then you should worry about cooling them down. Misting them, cooling them with a fan, or just moving them to a cooler place works fine. Their needs are by and large the same as yours.
