Oh hells bells bella belle, that's just the way we like life on Louisiana's riviera, hot and sticky, add a bit of spice and call it paradise.
The old plantation homes were engineering marvels in managing temperatures before AC.
Houses built today are designed to use the most energy to keep them comfortable. I personally believe it's a intentional design to feed the utility company in perpetuity.
I spent many a happy summers in a AC-less plantation home in Terrebonne Parish.
(Grandma's heaven)
Tall ceilings, large crawl spaces, ceiling fans, floor fans, attic fans. Operable transom windows above interior doors, gables windows in the attic. Breezy ways, bull runs, wrap around verandas, screen in porches downstairs and upstairs.
Many are not prepared for what is on the way, we should all rethink life with limited access to energy, as the idiots start their rolling blackouts.
Yep - live in the south south - it's hot and humid and window units are more costly on the power bill than central units.

Stay cool my Cajun Cousin
When my grandmother was alive - she had a huge attic fan that ran all summer - awesome breeze and never hot lol
Soon to be a great revival of common sense, sounds like you have a head start, ended up with that smart gene from granny, bless her soul.
If not but for my ancestors...
The cupcakes, the powderpuffs and the snowflakes won't have a clue.
