High ceilings, windows places in such a way to facilitate cross ventilation .. lots of trees if possible. Most parts of the world are not meant to be densely built up or populated. The west is mostly hostile terrain. That’s why there is a band in the temperate/tropics that used to be densely populated and still is because they had the climate and natural resources to thrive. I was getting what was close to heat strokes while working at the farm. I don’t sweat in CA like I used to in India because of the dry heat and lack of humidity. Dehydration is deadly. My body was constantly in a state where it thought it was maintaining an internal fever but had no way to cool down because I was only (genetically?) primed to sweat when it’s humid. An Ayurvedic vaidya suggested something that I thought would never work but it did!! I started soaking vetiver roots in an earthen pot filled with water ..overnight. And had it throughout the day. I sweat now and I am aware when I start getting dehydrated. I don’t know why it worked. I don’t care if no one can find a rational explanation as to why it worked. It has been literally life saving. I remember vetiver mats beings used as curtains/fans in the South Indian villages I visited during summer vacation as a child. I don’t remember exactly how it works but they’d throw water on it and then pull it with a rope and it would be hung high up on the ceiling. You just had to tug the rope now and then ..it would be like a fragrant fan. No electricity needed.
