Heating and cooling typically accounts for around 48% of energy use in an average American home. This can vary based on factors like climate, insulation, and energy efficiency of the home's systems. Proper insulation, programmable thermostats, and efficient HVAC systems can help reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling.

The easiest way to build a tree house with heating and cooling, is to build the tree house completely sealed, (By building the structure really tightly and then coating it with something that's air proof.) and then get the tree-house access to electricity and an air-conditioner. If you cannot do that, than build it in a high place and keep it shut in the winter and open in the summer.
