Problem is, I moved somewhere cold so I wouldn’t have to run the AC, and now summers here are just as hot as they were where I grew up. I can’t take the heat but it seems to be following me wherever I go.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t use AC but we should focus more on building homes to stay cool. Living spaces used to be designed with airflow in mind and windows were constructed to optimize capturing the breeze. Window tech has come a long way as far as heat rejection but awnings used to be everywhere. People focus too much on looks vs functionality and tbh modern houses are ugly as hell imo. AC should be used in tandem with all of the other things we’ve learned. I go to houses all the time that have the windows that don’t work or have been nailed closed with no ceiling fans and it blows my mind. I live in Texas so I get escaping to the north. We’re expecting some nasty weather so everyone is currently panic buying everything, I bet you miss that stuff lol
