Questions regarding air conditioning systems…for a house that
A. is really old, but rather compact. B. has only window units
C. is in a zone that is very hot/dry and hot for most of the
year  1. Has any new technology (different window units, for
example) been developed to cool a house?  2. What is the
difference between a swamp/evaporative cooler and an air
conditioner?  3. Which of the above would work best in a super
hot Southwest climate?  4. Any other suggestions for cooling an
old house that only has window units?  Thank you.  Using Fluther
