Air Conditioning is one of the craziest things ever

[Deleted member 51576]

It is super energy intensive and consequently expensive as hell and it is also inefficient but… it still gets the job done and the fact that it exists is kind of crazy! Being able to live in the desert is entirely feasible because of it—although small groups of people did live in deserts far longer than A/C came into existence.

Air conditioning dates back to prehistory.Double-walled living quarters, with a gap between the two walls to encourage air flow, were found in the ancient city of Hamoukar, in modern Syria.[12]Ancient Egyptian buildings also used a wide variety of passive air-conditioning techniques

But the first modern air conditioning device was created in about 1901

Thanks for your detective work, nerdcel.

it's possible to build structures in the desert that provides passive cooling and temperature equalization without mechanical air conditioning. it's just more effort than installing an ac unit

Structures that can accommodate modern desert city populations and modern ways of living? I am unsure of this, m8
