Cooling? Is this some US thing?
In 2022, over 1600 Americans died from heat related illnesses.
In many places in the US, if you do not have a system to remove humidity from the air in a space, you will fail to regulate your body temperature via sweating, leading to heat stroke and more.
The post literally links to US government sites, so I am hopeful you’ll be able to sort out this mystery
Yes. I assume you’re in Europe, it’s way hotter here and an apartment without AC is essentially useless much of the year.
Same reason we guzzle ice water (or soft drinks) like crazy people in restaurants.
Last summer we had a streak of 45 consecutive days over 100°F where I’m at.
I’ve never turned on my heater. I don’t even know if it works. If it gets cold I grab an extra blanket or wear pajamas. When my AC quit working I moved in with a friend for a few days while it got fixed, because the inside of my trailer house can hit 125 in the summer.
In February I used less than 200kWh of electricity . In July I used nearly 1800.
It never occurred to me that it wouldn’t get above 100F/37C in other countries
