I am completly opposed to Air-conditions propagandized as a solution to climate change. What is the wright approach to combating this state of temporary relief except from old-fashioned fans? Don't get me wrong. They do the job for me. I am reffering to finding a solution for people more with health issues or large facilities that are in need of something more drastic.

There is only so much you can do to achieve that. If temperatures are in the upper 30s for an entire week. You can't keep the heat out forever

Yeah, if you build with conventional stick and fibreglass.

Thermal mass and earth-cooled air and shading can achieve a lot.
