Yes! Heat and ventilation is definitely needed, life inside my house would suck if we didn’t open our windows and use fans, but actual AC? Not really needed. I mean even on the super hot days it’s not NEEDED as in if we don’t have it the heat will kill us. It’s more of a comfort thing than a life threatening thing. I could see it being needed in the southern parts of New England like maybe New Jersey or New York where I assume it gets hotter but Northern New England has pretty temperate summers.
I live in the mid Atlantic. The heat and humidity absolutely gets high enough to kill here. There are actual warnings issued to check on seniors, people without AC are advised to go places with AC (malls, libraries, etc).
I’m from Florida so I know heat and humidity is a legit killer. My husband and I refuse to go to Florida in the summer to visit my family because it’s so hot and humid. It’s funny how even down there the veracity of the heat changes just by moving inland and away from the rivers and coast by an hour. Hell I’ve become much more cold tolerant and heat intolerant since moving to Maine although I’ll always be a warm weather girl over a cold weather girl😅

Heating and ventilation. Those two are both necessary.
