We need more efficient AC, no question about that. We also need to stop building glass buildings that can’t exist without AC. But there’s no way to live completely without AC, it’s likely going to get warmer even if we become carbon neutral now.
- SilverRed 5y agoMost of those modern glass buildings are double glazed and fairly airtight which is probably better than the average house.
- michaelt 5y agoHouses-vs-glass-buildings is a tough comparison, as a lot of glass buildings are office buildings. And (pre-pandemic, at least) office buildings often have far less floor space per occupant - especially meeting rooms. So here in the UK, where only perhaps 1% of homes have air conditioning, it's not at all unusual for office buildings to have air conditioning.
