Does keeping your windows shut all the time in New York mean you have an air conditioner on all summer?

Could there be other problems with everyone using air conditioning all the time?

Windows don’t need to be shut all the time. Just when I’m sleeping, or want some quiet. (I don’t live in an acoustically-isolated environment, either.)

(That said, I and most people I know in Manhattan run air conditioners more or less constantly, while we are in the apartment, all summer.)
