> everyone acted like I was crazy for not building in central air conditioning. (This is in New Hampshire)

Really? In NH? How many days a year it even reaches 90?

I’m sure it’s nothing like the south east, but it gets pretty hot, mostly in July and August. Living in a hotter but drier climate now (which is on the whole more comfortable than back in NH), I realize that the humidity played an important part in it feeling hot and uncomfortable. Mid 80s in dry heat is many times more bearable than mid 80s in humid weather, and the same thing goes for the cold too.

Yeah I was going to say the same. I live in MA to the SOUTH, and almost no one here has central air except richer and/or older people.
