I’ve experienced more chilling temperatures in a southern brasilian house during winter than my current apartment in poland. I didn’t even had to turn on heating this winter while in São Paulo I often had to use multiple blankets to sleep. I think that its all about the windows. In warm climate regions they are made to allow air circulation. |

Windows, walls, roofs, ceiling heights, …
In warm climates until you have AC you want shade and air circulation / drafts.
Having no roof insulation is not much of an issue (might even be advantageous to trigger forced airflow) as long as you’re far from the roof. Likewise high ceilings keep the heat climbing above head level.
And imperfectly adjusted doors and windows with dodgy (or missing) seals isn’t a bother when it’s not an advantage.
In cold climes none of those is really acceptable unless you want to absolutely nuke your bank account on heating, at least if the house is anything more than a place to sleep in.
