Because Google Didn't Work

[pocaracas]

In Germany, no government building is allowed to use air conditioning.
In the UK, they don't need it, they only need heaters.

Where I live, it's hot and humid and there is often little or no breeze on your average summer day. It's really nasty outside right now and it's only just after nine o'clock.

I like to hold the conceit that I'm enlightened on some matters and I have been doing things to make my little life less of a burden on the planet, but giving up AC in the summer isn't one of the concessions I'm willing to make as long as I'm living in the south.

I'm saying what I can do at my home.
And what I see done in most homes in Portugal.

If you can't do that in there, then AC does seem like a must. Just think of your future generations and try to keep it in decent levels. I guess you can be comfortable indoors at a nice temperature of 25ºC (~77F), during the Summer and 18ºC (~65F) in the Winter, right?

So you guys don't have central air?

Not for the most part, no.
