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.

@JackbyDev @turip Problem with insulation is that there isn't a good way to retrofit old buildings with it without mold building up, as old buildings were designed to breathe.

There is not a magic solution that is perfect in every scenario. Air conditioners decrease humidity as a side effect, though.

You can ventilate periodically, air doesn't hold that much thermal energy. You can also use heat recovery ventilation, should work in reverse to keep the heat out too.
