More AC hopefully? AC is a lousy way to cool, it's a major driver of climate change, and turning cities into heat islands.
The ground is cool year round, and a cooperative heat exchange could serve multiple residences. There are better ways.
Yeah, ground source heat pumps are pretty awesome and are being installed with many new buildings and renovations around here.
But that's also AC, right? Just powered by different (better) tech.
I definitely agree that ground source heat pumps are better but they are also very expensive and basically only worth it if you replace a house's entire heating with it. Using some crappy mobile AC unit is an acceptable interim solution just to allow me to sleep at reasonable temperatures for the next few summers.
