elnavI found this website with an article showing how buildings were air conditioned as much as 1500 years ago. Note how modern architects have sucessfully adapted the ancient concept and modern architecture design.
The sentence concerning how construction costs were also reduced really intrigued me.

At the same website you will also find articles and diagrams on how to make food storage containers that will keep food safe for many days without electric refrigeration.
Pre-history off-grid anyone?
