About Air Conditioning Appreciation Days
Retail , United States
Ends: Aug 15, 2021
DESCRIPTION:
Think of how life would be without air conditioning. It's a fairly new invention.
The Romans were the first to attempt air conditioning, using fans held by slaves, water via aqueducts and designing buildings with breezeways. The Persian and Arab world further perfected the use of architecture to create breezes. Electricity would finally make real air conditioning a possibility, first with a fan and then via Willis Carrier's 1902 invention, a water cooled, coiled air conditioner. Like a lot of inventions, he didn't realize what he had for over a decade. His purpose was to reduce humidity in his print shop. It did that, but he soon realized it could do much more.
In 1922, tinkering some more, he created the first room chiller that made its debut in pure theater fashion over Memorial Day weekend in 1925 with the first artificially cooled commercial venue, the Rivoli Theater in Times Square. Suddenly, places considered virtually unlivable, like the desert Southwest, areas of the Middle East, Africa, South America and Australia, were suddenly attractive. Air conditioning made it possible, but it would take awhile. In the 1960s, only 10% of homes had air conditioning in the United States. By 2007, 86% would have it. Cities including Phoenix, Dubai, Riyadh and Sydney would not be the powerhouses they are today without air conditioning. In fact, air conditioning literally changed demographics throughout the world.
As the dog days of summer set in, take this opportunity to be thankful for that cool breeze that allows us to work, sleep and make the most out of the hot (and often humid) summer months.
