It's a neat technique, but there are some problems:
* Permanent architectural features to reduce sunlight absorption only make sense where its consistently hot, year round. In areas with cold winters, its not grate.
* Perforated walls offer very little privacy or protection from the environment, animals, or people.
* Cleaning and maintenance of these perforated walls requires more intricate and costly effort
* Susceptibility to damage from high winds

Not being able to seal and air condition these homes will kill a lot of people when "wet bulb" events start becoming commonplace. I'm thankful I live in a climate far from the equator where we get more of a dry heat.
