OT: Denmark doesn't have a tradition for using airconditioning. Only a few cars have it, and I know of no private house with an airconditioning. Very few offices have air conditioning, although medium and big shops and gas stations generally do. Many server rooms are not air conditioned - which results in a large harddisk turnover during the summer :-)
I don't think the airport has air-conditioning - air-conditioning is generally seen as a very polluting issue around here, because it consumes a lot of energy, and thereby CO2.
The average yearly electricity consumption in the appartments near where I live is 1,800kWh a year (500 Joule), and houses are approx. 7,200kWh a year (2000 Joule). The country average may differ from this.
Living in Copenhagen, I cannot recognize your description fully - it's true that there is not much vandalism, but there is slow driving on the main roads into Copenhagen during rush hours, although not as much as many German cities. I think you would like to see some dutch cities, too, especially Delft, Den Haag (capital) and others, and probably also Swedish cities like Lund, Stockholm (capital, stockholm.se etc. A very, very nice city, too, is Bonn (former German capital, bonn.de. That's was probably one of the nicest capitals in Europe located in probably one of the nicest areas in Europe. I simply don't understand how they could make Berlin their capital again!
