This article misses the important point of <i>moving</> air. We live in Washington, DC in a one hundred year old house, and our air conditioning doesn't get used much. What DOES get used a lot is the fan in our HVAC. We chose a very powerful system to MOVE that air around, and keep a constant breeze going through the house. This has kept it nice and comfortable without having to rely on the a/c. We also installed multiple, powerful fans in the attic that automatically turn on to exhaust air, pulling it up from the lower flowers so cooler air can sink. So all this to say, it's not just the a/c that keeps a home cooler.
