It can get pretty hot in the summers, but I noticed that this is far less of a problem in brick buildings, and especially if they're built right. I think far more emphasis can be put on which materials to use, strategic placement of windows, to make pretty energy-efficient buildings. In fact, some office buildings here in Norway, not far from where I live, are already energy positive. On a slightly different tangent, I live in a really old building. This means it's pretty expensive to heat in the winter. On the other hand, there was a terrible water leak earlier this year, and it took days before the landlord finally checked in. In a new house that would instantly mean risk of mould. But due to the house being old and thus "very well ventilated" the moisture dried up pretty quickly. So there are pros and cons for everything, I guess. And there's more to the indoor climate than just temperature.
