The politics of air conditioning in Switzerland

I'm in Zurich in modern construction - all cement with stressed cement panel cladding too on the outside. 8 apartments. Triple pane windows. Heat-pump with ground temp heating/cooling that is practically free in price. The ground temp is too cold and we'd get condensation if the brine wasn't warmed up a bit. The apartment is 24c to 26c depending on the room. A bit chilly to me.

My neighborhood (wollishofen) is a bit infamous for all of the old construction being torn down and being replaced with buildings like ours. But those old places are heated with oil, they're leaky wood construction, they have no option for cooling because there are no vents. Think buildings from the 1800s to early 1950s.

I didn't read the article - tired of all the American articles in the press promoting ac for some reason.

Seems like these folks won’t be enjoying fat piles of data center tax revenues any time soon
