You're lucky. Our house is pretty unpleasant except for the bits with A/C. Of course having the big west-facing windows upstairs (in the bedroom of course!) and down (kitchen, rats) doesn't help. Fans help some, though.
Not lucky. it would be very bad (and has been) if I failed to PAY ATTENTION and button the place up tight before the outside gets hotter than the inside and open up wide when it turns around.
Here too. I've run my A/C maybe three times this summer; a fan on all night cools the place down just fine. I can hear the neighbors running their A/C units 24/7. :P
in the summer, i have three trees to block the sun. yar. no radiant heat on walls. JUST enough light for most plants, but i have to have a plant light for some thing. the porch is not quite bright enough also, as a result.
in the winter, the trees don't block, and i get all the sun - my heating bill last winter as absurdly low. $100? for the whole heating year. hhahahahahah. then again, i pay more than that for "standby" which suck. i could have it turned off instead, but the fee for that is oddly about the same as paying it ;P (natural gas line i can't control or get at)
someday? i'll have a house, and a "whole house fan", and other evile moetheds.
