Alegria
Frequently Asked Questions

Space Heating; Air Conditioning

The climate is so moderate in Abadiania that one seldom finds air conditioning, and essentially never space heating in buildings.*  Due to the construction methodologies -- brick, concrete and stone -- the thermal mass of a building is so large that the daily temperature extremes are effectively evened out inside buildings in every season, and air conditioning or space heating is seldom experienced as lacking. 

Additionally, the Alegria apartment has a roof structure with an extreme thermal mass, consisting of a thick concrete ceiling, with a thick layer of soil and grasss growing on top.  You will always feel comfortable inside.

* The Casa de Dom Inacio does have limited air conditioning in the Current rooms, which helps making current more pleasant than waiting in the big hall, where it does get quite hot on sunny days.
