On the relative comfort of traditional vs modern homes in western sub-saharan Africa:
"A study on this subject was published in 2021 by Barabara Widera, an instructor of architecture from the Wrocław University of Science and Technology in Poland. The study found that during the hot season, 60-70% of the inhabitants of traditional dwellings found their homes to be thermally comfortable. However, in ‘modern houses,’ only 20% of inhabitants reported such comfort. During the cold seasons, comfort was reported by 90% of the inhabitants in traditional houses and only 50% of those who lived in modern housing."
