      I think the glosses are a bit odd. I think there's more than one sense here

      Many sentences using a construction like this: いつも通り、涼しげな顔をしている。(composed expression), which doesn't refer to temperature. 
      But likewise there's sentences with "涼しげな風" (refreshing breeze) and "涼しげな音" (clear sound) etc.
      
      Some more sentences from massif and reverso:
      鈴虫が鳴くような、涼しげな音色が耳に触れる。(clear sound)
      奥には滝があり、その周辺の少し涼しげな空気がとても気持ち良いです。(refreshing/cool atmosphere)
      涼しげなガラスの器に盛りつけられた野菜たちが、 キラキラと輝いています。 (clear glass)
      すると、彼女は涼しげに解説してくれた。(explained calmly/in a composed manner)
