In some climates I guess. Most of Europe doesn't even have AC, it's rarely needed.

Neither do big parts of the US. Most residential buildings in New England, New York, parts of the Pacific Northwest... even the Bay Area.

More and more Europeans have some form of AC, even if it's just at work. Even in homes portable units are becoming much more common. --In much of southern Norway stores haven't even been able to keep them in stock due to the heat wave we experienced that started in May and only recently ended.
