We so need this hierarchy.
My rental home is 0.3/10 rated energy efficiency. A draughty shed.
According to the hype on here, we should force my landlord to install AC and I should get plug-in solar and battery for this shed.
Utterly incoherent!

"Meeting the extreme heat challenge requires a multi-level approach: passive cooling strategies must be scaled up and active cooling expanded only where necessary and only when powered by clean energy"
Good WRI post - save the AC for those who need it most and never let it enable fossil fuel use:

Yes, we absolutely can use air conditioning in combination with other tactics to keep people alive during heat waves in a more sustainable way:
Europe’s cities can beat extreme heat by combining efficient air con with passive cooling to reduce emissions and energy use.
