    Air conditioning is uncommon in homes in Northern Europe.

    Not only is it uncommon, our buildings are generally not set up for convenient installation of AC - window units are not compatible with our window types - nor have we put any effort into optimizing for keeping our homes cool, since the primary challenge we face is keeping our homes sufficiently hot for the vast majority of the year.

    Retrofitting all homes to cope with our new climate reality is going to be an immensely expensive endeavour.

        That could be a problem with your a/c configuration, or you just need dehumidifiers too. If you’re in a very humid climate, dehumidifiers can help air conditioners work better too.
