The UK's houses are still designed to retain heat. In an age of global warming, that needs to change.

    I wouldn’t call the UK “a hot country”, outside of maybe 2-3 months of the year at most. Having said that, we do need more thought given to how to deal with the heat, There are a couple of issues with widespread AC though. 1) Electricity prices and 2) environmental impact of increased pressure on the grid when it’s hot (i/e needing coal or gas power plants more).
