You're aware that barely anyone in Europe even own AC-units?

In Europe, nearly all offices have AC units, same in all malls, in many public transportation, shops, restaurants, many cars...
Many offices require AC because of their design; they are huge glass greenhouses. Meanwhile in homes, almost no one has AC, at least in the UK.
Europe is big and spans many latitudes. Not many AC units here in UK, they're quite common in Italy.
But we spent most of our days in offices with AC.
