Huh? 2 months out of the year AC is required? Even if you can not, somehow, stand a week or two of 90-100 degree weather(with NO humidity!) without air conditioning, to months of required AC in Seattle seems like an insane exaggeration.
- asark 7y agoLots of modern houses aren't built to function very well in temperature extremes. Windows are too small, don't open wide enough or at all, interior blocks too much airflow, insulation and sealing's too good. Certainly they don't give a damn about which way they're oriented when they plop 'em down, or which rooms are facing which way, or any of that. They're much worse to be in when it's very hot with no AC than an older house. And I write from experience you'll end up on the porch some nights even in those older houses, which ain't exactly fun or restful if you're not used to it and need to get up the next day and at least try to be productive. Hell, modern interior woodwork and wooden furniture's not meant to take the heat either, for the most part. No tolerances for it, no attention to grain and such.
- RickS 7y agoYou're right, I was loose with my language there. It is never "required" in the way that eg Phoenix AZ would demand. It's a convenience. "Desirable" would have been a better word.
