Have you ever decided to turn off the A/C off in your house? Almost immediately, your dwelling begins to heat up love you accidentally left your oil furnace on, and until you turn your A/C back on, you will feel like junk in your hot & stuffy house! It regularly made myself and others contemplate how people that lived before the invention of the A/C managed to live & care about being in their dwelling places while in the afternoon.
- How could anyone want to live inside an apartment if they did not have A/C, especially in the hot and humid locales? The weirdest section to myself and others was that when I learn anything from the stuff I read that was written back in the day, they seemed to care about themselves despite the fact that there weren’t any A/Cs.
After doing some research, I discovered about how people built their houses differently back then since there was no such thing as A/C. Back in those days, when they had no a/c, they built their houses intentionally. For instance, if you were to build your home with windows opposite each other, then you could get a cross-breeze and eliminate your need for an A/C. A cross breeze is a good cooling device. Only since the invention of the A/C did people start building their houses paying no attention to cross breezes as both of us do now. I also acquired that with smart building orientation & windows, you could absolutely give a cool breeze throughout your building throughout the afternoon, further reducing your need for the as yet uninvented A/C.
