Quite honestly, I've never seen houses that didn't need either active heating or cooling (or both.)
I'm aware of some clever designs, like Roman/Spanish villas (and igloos for that matter), but nothing modern. Are there some I'm missing out on?

@gnate@ohai.social @girlonthenet@mastodon.social the Germans developed the passive house standard, where you have a highly insulated house which uses heat exchangers to keep the internal temperature constant without any active heating at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house The technique has been around for quite a few years but is constantly ignored by politicians.
