AC can use refrigerants that are not pollutants. Also AC by definition can always be solar powered. This is literally a non-issue.
Here’s a question: why do we not shelter our homes and buildings? It doesn’t make any sense to let the sun bake the house and then continually refrigerate the inside of it. Just string some cloth or literally any material over the house with an air gap. It would cost almost nothing compared the the total cost of the house and it would save tons of money on cooling alone. So why isn’t it done? Well it is, but if your shade structure isn’t organic and green leafed, you get run out of town. Such a shame. We need some kind of artificial tree.
I don’t understand. The view would be the same. It would be the same as having as having roofs. Just slightly raised and maybe a different color. No problem with views.
When I read "over the house" I was thinking that this shield would go around the house.
Most of the heat entering my house is through the walls and windows. There's a huge air gap and thick insulation below the roof, so that's not much of a problem.
