Here they share 10 Fun Facts About Air Conditioning:
Nobody expects your ears to perk up when overhearing a conversation about air conditioning. As far as most homeowners are concerned, as long as they’re cool when they need to be and warm when they need to be, what else is there to care about? So, this goes out to everyone, politely stifling a yawn when their HVAC technician starts explaining the ins and outs of their air conditioning unit. Air conditioning can be enjoyable!
Here are our Top 10 Fun Facts About Air Conditioning to prove it.
1. Forget comfort - the first air conditioner, designed by Willis Carrier in 1902, was designed to control the humidity in a New York publishing house. Its effects helped ink to dry faster and smudge-free, as well as keeping the paper from expanding and contracting.
2. Do you love catching a summer blockbuster at the movie theatre? You can thank air conditioning. Moviemakers release their big pictures during the summer because people seek out air-conditioned buildings to escape the heat.
3. Air conditioning makes springtime bearable. Allergy sufferers and asthmatics can thank air conditioning for providing clean, filtered air indoors.
4. All those “40 is the new 20” people can thank AC for prolonged life expectancy and the world-changing medical advances. Certain medicines could never have been created without cool, controllable environments, and certain illnesses could never have been cured.
5. You wouldn’t be reading this article if it weren’t for air conditioning. That’s right; you can thank AC for developing and manufacturing computer technology.
6. Vegas wouldn’t be Vegas without AC. In fact, hotter states like Texas, Florida, and Nevada can thank air conditioning for their population booms. Without AC, America’s economic power would rest squarely in the northern states.
7. It’s cool to be green. Manufacturing companies are switching from the old standard refrigerant, R-22, to R-410A. Removing chlorine from air conditioning refrigerants makes them ozone-friendly.
8. High ceilings and open floor plans weren’t just pretty designs for homes. They were made to optimize airflow in a hot building. Now, you can live and work in towering glass buildings (thanks to air conditioning).
9. Before buildings had central air conditioning, industries and even the government took a summer vacation along with school. Do you think things happen too slowly in D.C. now? Imagine working with 2-3 fewer months. Yikes!
10. Kids, thank your lucky stars! Even though summer vacation started as a way to escape the heat, schools kept up the practice even after gaining air conditioning.
