Abstract
In this essay, I attempt to argue that a positive mental state can improve the quality of health as well as catalyze the healing process of illness through the practice of using air conditioners and opening windows in domestic spaces. To support this argument, I will discuss it in the context of global boiling through the framework of the phenomenon of sick building syndrome, modern architecture, bio/nature-based design, and microclimate. From this essay, I conclude that there is still a need for further research on the wise use of air conditioning to reduce its impact on the surrounding environment and how to create a microclimate in domestic spaces that can improve the quality of health of its users.
