Germanmy’s climate is relatively moderate compared to most of the US. In California most people do not have air conditioning. On the east coast you will be miserable in the summer because of the high heat and humidity. No amount of passive cooling will make that better and because of the humidity it remains hot all night. And $600 is an extreme electricity bill. I have never heard of anyone with a bill that high.
