That's my understanding as well - a well made PH doesn't require A/C in most environments b/c it keeps the heat out really well. Some of this is affected by building orientation - North/South works better than East/West I believe - but a PH will get up to 25-26 degrees even in heat wave like temps. The few PH I've seen didn't have A/C though some do b/c of the design/location.
