>dont they have to be placed in a cooler, darker place, after they have flowered, so that they can get new flowers?
That's just species that go into dormacy, like certain dendrobiums, most orchids are tropical and don't have a dormacy period.
>And watering should be done with water mist, right?
If you want to, you can just put them in a bucket of water or flood them until water flushes out of the bottom of the pot (if they're in a pot atleast), misting leads to thin European roots on Vandacious orchids, soaking gives you fat American roots.
>How do they react to calcium carbonate rich water (limestone area)
Calcium is good once in a while, they prefer rainwater though, and it isn't exactly hard (and free) to get rainwater.
>How do they reacht to drafts and temp changes
Depends on the temperature, all species benefit from a nighttime temperature drop, but tropical species like to grow generally warm.

There's low light, high humidity, cold growing species as well.
Picture related.

Vandas require full-sunlight, atleast, most of them, they won't flower until they're near sunburned,
