Air can be vented (filtered) into the house during hot periods at night when the temperatures are more moderate. Temperatures in moderate climates typical average in summer 30 deg.

That's a very useful suggestion for people living in houses that are
more than a century old.

Those ARE the newer buildings. What are you going to do for the
majority that are living in older buildings? :P

One wonders if the the weasel was sitting in an air conditioned rubber
room when he wrote that.

They've already done this long before air conditioning was invented.

There exist room air conditioners that work very well now.
Europeans do not heat or cool their entire house.

Indeed it is very useful, as older homes without existing forced air heating
systems can be a pain in the ass to install an attic AC system.
