...because they design a house that needs AC. A toroidal air circulation pattern will do more than overhangs and overglazing.
The second owners shingled over the South-facing skylight in the greenhouse. You can see that they didn't use hand-split cedar. The main roof was held on with stainless steel staples. I didn't supervise the roofing (I did manufacture the dome panels) but it's probably no more than a 160mph structure.
When the wind blew 100mph, it didn't whistle or moan, all they could hear was raindrops hitting the windows. Quiet as a Mercedes at 100mph. Built on a sand dune, though.
