See. I find this weird. Up here in Canada, we keep our thermostat about 21°C year round (at least in my experience) with some reductions midday while everyone is out. Insulation is huge, but I don't know if I've ever met someone with A/C, likely because it doesn't really get above 30°C. I imagine it would be similar in the northwestern states.

A lack of A/C is considered a point of pride in Seattle, at least. As is a brown lawn in summer. Sprinklers and A/C are for Californicators.
