When you don’t live in constant AC you can tolerate a surprisingly wide range of temps. Houses were also built to have better airflow and adaptability (removable shutters, awnings, textiles, isolated room heating, etc…). There was also more emphasis on personal temperature regulation: layering, hats, airy/sun blocking robes, heated stones, hot water containers, etc…
Outside of extreme weather events, people were probably just as comfortable but with more inconvenience.
True, but if it was a truly excruciating habitat humans weren’t likely to live there or would have an adapted lifestyle. For example your community is only active around dawn/dusk or travels to better climates in certain seasons or is restricted to coastal villages.
Climate control has convinced us it’s totally normal to build homes in hell-scapes where humans have no business living. Like Death Valley CA or anywhere in Ohio.
