> Temperature control in buildings is 100% architecture and technical add-ons like AC are a poor choice.

AC is not only temperature control. Running water through the walls or evaporation cooling only work in moderately dry climates but will not help much in humid climates. Cooling the walls will just lead to condensation and wet walls. There's certainly a lot that can be done without AC, but humidity control is required in some regions of the world.
