Whether or not it is, that’s the reality.

People push back against new building codes and the last time I was in a thread that talked about the lack of insulation it was blindingly clear many European commenters didn’t have the first clue why that mattered for hot weather as well as cold (“it’s for keeping the heat in…”) and just wanted A/C regardless that the shitty insulation makes that grossly inefficient.

A/C is extremely energy demanding and yes, in most cases, that’s pollution generating

@uncleYimbo must be from the us … air con is the most stupid solution to fight climate change, unless you re from the us 😝 as an European growing up in a southern city of France , we never had air con and to be honest we hate it . I ve put air con in the house cause it s rented out in the summer and Asian/us renter just can’t live without it .
