energy transfer
I work in a Highrise Building - Downtown Houston... & I'm not a Professional Engineer who knows a lot about theory... However, I am a Chief Building Engineer who knows a little about thermodynamics.
the gest of the answer here is another question... "How much energy does it take to change the temperature in my dwelling x degrees?"... Doesn't matter winter or summer... bottom line is.... in the middle summer you are changing the temp from 100 to 75... (25 degrees) (removing 25 degrees from the space).... right now you are trying to get from 25 to 75... (50 degrees) - Add 50 degrees to the space.
The reallity is that you could easily use double the energy to achieve such a change...there are many factors including "how efficient is your A/C - Compared to your Heat source?" etc...
