    I grew up without AC. The few sweltering summer days we had, we slept down the basement. Today, my parents still live there. But they have AC and they run it most of the summer. Why? Because climate change is loading the weather dice against us.https://www.eastidahonews.com/2021/06/all-time-record-triple-digit-heat-forecast-for-many-people-that-dont-have-a-c/ …

        I happened to be in Seattle for the hottest day on record in July 2009. People were absolutely freaking out. (AC is rare in homes there.) I went to the zoo and the monkeys were miserable and hiding under burlap sacks.

        I grew up in New Delhi in the 1980s without AC. None/only a handful in our middle class neighbourhood had them. Most had locally fabricated water coolers with an inbuilt fan for cold air. ACs were a luxury that only the rich could afford. Now most middle class homes have AC.

        That and the fact that we are accustomed to more comfort now.

        My daughter went to infant school in a 150 year old building. The ceilings were high, chimneys maintained a flow of air. It was surrounded by mature trees. In the peak of summer it stayed cool. Her high school is 40 years old. Low ceilings, surrounded by concrete. It's an oven.

        We can build cooler buildings without AC. Appreciate there comes a point architecture can cool beyond. But still it can reduce the days that AC is needed.

        Living in northern latitudes extra energy demand is associated with winter. Interesting (shocking) to see how much demand AC creates further south.

        People lived comfortably for thousands of years in such heat, before AC came along, there has been a resurgence in such building (Barjeels) in Saudi and Dubai - we’re not that civilised in the Westhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher …

        People also died a lot earlier on average for thousands of years.
