While I've read enough Asimov to believe that the future is underground, I'll also be the first to admit that the lack of windows is a major problem with the system. You both lose natural light and the cooling air currents provided by the wind.
Well I didn't mean all the way underground -- I think you'd get substantial benefits from going three-quarters down on the ground floor. If there's only one floor, skylights do the trick. For multiple stories, high windows, and then fans circulating air between floors. Hmm, I guess this is getting a little expensive after all...
