> I live in a place where it ranges from 50-85 F throughout the year, rarely below 60 though. Combined with what you said about it being wet, I'm guessing you live in the subtropics. Building in a climate/ecology conscious way in tropical/subtropical places is very different than in colder places, and most of the knowledge out there is for colder-than-tropical climates, and frankly I don't know much about it. But one thing that translates well between the climates is shade - shade structures and roof overhangs - especially on the sides that take the most solar load.
