#AirCon has become the new wedge issue of European politics.
Perfect for those who wish to stir the pot because it pits environmentalists against most middle of the road voters, as well as being an issue that can be fought on wealth and health conditions.
The simplest solution is keeping the solar rays out of the home…stop them before they hit the glass of your windows with natural shade, awnings and shutters.
But that doesn’t please the energy companies or far right politicians.

‘The YouGov polling, carried out in mid-July in France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain and in early August in the UK, found that between 61% and 73% of respondents favoured air conditioning being installed as standard in all new homes.’
If you told the same people an air to air heat pump would keep them warm in winter and cool in summer would they still be demanding #AirCon ?
We have to explain things in a clearer more accessible way so that the default isn’t aircon
