In some parts of Europe, we have many ways of mitigating heat that don't cost as much and work well enough to a point.
Shutters will reflect heat before it gets into the home, which can keep the temperature as low as 10 degrees cooler than outside, cieling standing and desk fans can help cool you down in 20-30 degree weather. Dehumidifiers can help in humid heat.
Beyond a certain point, you do have to use air conditioning to lower the temperature, but that's when you get to 35deg and above, and that typically been pretty rare until now, and most of the above still help.
I think if I did have the money I would probably install a heat pump + air conditioner combo and I believe there should be grants available for those.
If you're a renter it sucks though because you have very few options. "Portable" air conditioning is ok but not very effective and very expensive to run.
portable air conditioners can be very effective..
or, are they?...

I was hoping for Technology Connections
I was hoping for two of them.
Wish granted :P
Split ones are, using one right now. 3-5kWh per day depending on outside temperature and target temperature. We set ours to 24-26 degs and it reaches it even now with 40 degs outside.
