@turip youtu.be/AAz5D3TnQ_k This video lists basically every option you can have. I posted it already, but building a city to create air corridors and using water-porous asphalt when you have to have it, which allows for evaporative cooling during the summer, as well as using ponds and water to create a cool island effect, can significantly reduce heating.

@XeroxCool @nocturne There are special nano-materials they have that blocks all IR heat from entering the building. We shall see how this scales.

@JackbyDev @turip Problem with insulation is that there isn’t a good way to retrofit old buildings with it without mold building up, as old buildings were designed to breathe.

@spazzman6156 @turip They are similar, but a heat pump is a much more advanced version with a lot less energy loss.

@turip Trees, trees, and public transit. And yeah, passive solar, underground trenches the Amish use. And drinking water isn’t going to fix it. There will be parts of the world where the wet-bulb temperature will literally be unlivable and will require ACs. People are also more stupid and violent when they overheat.

@turip youtu.be/stvTwCY-8IU Here is an option, but you will need a powerful dehumidifier, which might use the same amount of energy as a good heat pump. Or we can go with the China option of treating cooling as a public utility that saves up to 50% of the energy that AC uses. youtu.be/AAz5D3TnQ_k
