General Discussion

You had the proximity to the artic and the ocean currents to regulate temperature in the Summer and then the Gulf Stream that was pushed to the surface by cooler artic waters in the Winter to regular the Winter. It's why most of the continent's houses and office buildings were built without air conditioning in mind.

It's a nightmare. 105 degrees inside of old homes without air conditioning is more than miserable, it's dangerous. This isn't like the desert SW in America where everything was built with extreme heat in mind and everything has air conditioning. These are homes that weren't even built with airflow in mind, because you just didn't have to think about hat as much.
