The vast majority of homes in Spain do not have AC.
- xenospn 4y agoas an israeli (we have very similar climates) I find this incomprehensible.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoPerhaps your standard of living is higher? Spain is a relatively poor country and energy costs are not really scaleable to local standards. I live in Spain and I wouldn't even consider getting AC with the current energy prices.
- sailingparrot 4y agoAC is one of those things you can’t live without once you get used to it, but that you don’t really notice the abscence of otherwise. I grew up in a hot place place with no AC, and while I now have AC, I usually never start it below ~28-30 Celsius.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoCorrect, I don't have one either and neither do my colleagues. This was one of the things that brought us to the office.
- hgazx 4y agoI live in the south of Spain and I can’t think of anybody who doesn’t own an AC.
- sailingparrot 4y agoOf course in the south the proportion is going to be higher, but overall only 33% of houses in Spain had AC in 2019 [1].
