One more answer to Debbi - this time about GreenTechnology - as I sit here in my midcentury box in the desert with the swamp cooler running - people used to build for the climate. There once was a huge body of knowledge about how to do so. No high tech required; just the good services of an historian and an architect working in tandem. And wouldn't I dearly love to have a house built to such standards today without tearnign mine down and redoing it totally! Alas; a midcentury box (though rather charming in many ways) was what I could afford. And those were designed around the presence - the ubiquity - of the a/c.
