IN South Africa there is a HUGE disparity between the unemployed, poor, middle class and wealthy. The average poorer family cannot afford a basic fan despite soaring temperatures during summer. If you're upper middle class or wealthy though you live a life of extravagance including air conditioners and huge electricity accounts

For dry climate there is a cheaper alternative than air conditioning: evaporative cooling (it's what farms use to keep alive animals when temperature is high).

My very first home had evaporative cooling. It worked great until the summer rains came up from Baja. Then for approximately 2-1/2 months it was useless.

In the coast? In the coast is useless, there is high humidity.

It's useful in deserts and similar places.

Iran qanats took advantage of that cooling centuries ago.
