How do you store green coffee?

Hi.

 

I've been reading up on home coffee roasting and I am puzzled about what they say about storing the green beans. They say that you are supposed to store it in a cool dry place that has good ventilation.

 

Does such a place exist on Plant Earth? Every place I have ever visited is hot in the summer. In order for it to be cool and dry you have to keep the air conditioning on and the windows shut. Aside from the huge expense this entails, it will not be ventilated.

 

The only places I know that are cool all year round are caves. But those are not well ventilated either.

 

Am I missing something?
