    Oh fuck, improperly designed HVAC + changes made to a building that really fuck it up… There’s no fixing that folks.

    “This one room is always hot!” Well, there’s no return, the door’s always closed, and oh, someone replaced the door 20 years ago and now there’s only a 1/4" gap between it and the floor. No, “turning up the fan speed” isn’t going to fix it.

      Transom windows. I don’t know why they aren’t common. But they make it easy to close a door but still allow airflow through the house.

        Because modern houses really don’t give any thoughts about airflow or natural cooling. Heck, even getting the AC compressor installed on a side of the house where it doesn’t get baked in the afternoon sun is too much to ask for.
