Default moderate climates - low energy bills

Don't know about the east coast. As for the rest of the country,
probably coastal WA, OR, northern CA, and the Alaska panhandle. I live
just north of WA in Vancouver BC. Most homes here, including mine, do
not have air conditioning. Temperature inside the house has hovered
between 21c and 24c (70-75F) all summer without any climate control on.

As for the winter, outside temperatures tend to hover a few degrees
above freezing for the whole season. Thus, heating the house isn't
nearly as expensive as other parts of the country that go into a deep
freeze all winter.
