Used to be, most places were designed around the heat and cold. Modern and ancient.
The big houses weren’t just for big families, but because you had to change your life with the seasons. Summer work was often done on porches (later screened) or in the basement. With a secondary kitchen so the house wasn’t heated up cooking.
Winter work upstairs or in the kitchen by the stove to conserve heat.
The people of the southwest dug down or built onto natural places to keep cooler, think Mesa Verde.
And then there’s the tradition of siesta, taking a nap during the worst part of the day and having a late supper so the house has a chance to cool before adding heat.
The modern conveniences are great, until they don’t work, then it’s back to the old ways, if you can.
