    You don’t need A/C.

    Source: I live in Wyoming.

    Edit: I meant that you don’t need A/C in a cottage like the one pictured, not that A/C is unnecessary altogether. I used to live in Texas. No A/C will literally kill you in Texas, but in a wooded mountain cottage surrounded by trees like that, you don’t really need it. In my house in WY, the hottest it ever gets inside is 78 with low humidity. Below is the current temp in my room, with computers running, at 2:22PM.

      All depends on the climate your in, and the insulation of your house. You can build houses which don’t need AC even in hot places by going underground or making earth ships. Yet with traditional construction and insulation in many places AC is almost required. Pretty efficient anyway, just a heat pump.
