Then inform yourself about the physics, come on. Just a bunch of smart alecks here. A climate where the dew point is above 22 degrees Celsius (72°F) is practically impossible in Germany. Weather is considered muggy when the dew point reaches 16 or 17 degrees Celsius (61 or 63°F). For the dew point to reach 22 degrees Celsius (72°F), you need almost 50% more moisture than what we understand as muggy conditions. Those are conditions typical for Florida in summer, but such considerations are completely irrelevant for Germany, let alone Berlin.

In practice, with a properly and correctly installed ceiling cooling system, you have zero problems and always maintain the perfectly desired temperature without the disadvantages of an air conditioning system. The only downside is that it costs a lot of money.

Then I agree with Stephen Hawking, who sees "greed and stupidity as the greatest threat to humanity"

Where exactly do you see the problem? I use electricity that I produce entirely myself.

And I use electricity...which I pay for entirely myself :p

Good grief... people are going to start whining about the environment any second now. Because of a few kWh of electricity per year!!! Then quickly turn off your computer... and for heaven’s sake, don’t fly on vacation!!!! This is ridiculous...

You don’t understand, or you refuse to understand. That attitude is what is ruining the planet. It doesn’t matter at all whether you “generate the electricity yourself.” First, you don’t actually do that, or are you stuck in a hamster wheel? Second, energy is a limited resource; as long as that remains true, your approach is misguided.

My goodness... are people going to start crying now about the dear environment? Over a few kWh of electricity per year!!! Then quickly turn off your PC... and for heaven’s sake don’t fly on vacation!!!! This is just ridiculous...

You are a hopeless case. A little boy in a man’s costume. Or even worse. That’s all I have to say to you...

Energy is not limited; electricity from fossil sources is.

@bierkuh83: I welcome anyone who leads by good example to teach me! You are not one of them. Why are you even registered in this forum? Building a single-family house is definitely borderline in terms of ecology and economy!

So... why don’t you live carbon-neutral in a cave and survive on what Mother Nature provides? 😉
