PART IV: READING
Air conditioning
The history of an invention that makes life more pleasant
Willis Carrier designed the first air-conditioning unit in 1902, just a year after graduating from
Cornell University with a Masters in Engineering. At a Brooklyn printing plant, fluctuations in
heat and moisture were causing the size of the printing paper to keep changing slightly, making
it hard to align different colours. Carrier's invention made it possible to control temperature and
humidity levels and so align the colours. The invention also allowed industries such as fılm,
processed food, textiles and pharmaceuticals to improve the quality of their products.
In 1914, the fırst air-conditioning device was installed in a private house. However, its size,
similar to that of an early computer, meant it took up too much space to come into widespread
use, and later models, such
as the Weathermaker, which Carrier brought out ir the 1920s, cost too much for most people. Cooling for
human comfort, rather than industrial need, really took off when three air conditioners were installed in
the J.L. Hudson Department Store in Detroit, Michigan. People crowded into the shop to experience the
new invention. The fashion spread from department stores to cinemas, whose income rose steeply as a
result of the comfort they provide
To start with, money-conscious employers regarde air conditioning as a luxury. They considered that if
they were paying people to work, they should nc be paying for them to be comfortable as well. So it the
1940s and '50s, the industry started putting ot a different message about its product: according tc their
research, installing air conditioning increase productivity amongst employees. They found that typis ts
increased their output by 24 0/o when transferred from a regular offıce to a cooled one. Another study into
offıce working conditions, whiı was carried out in the late '50s, showed that the majority of companies
cited air conditioning as thı single most important contributor to effıciency in offıces.
However, air conditioning has its critics. Jed Brown, an environmentalist, complains that air
conditioning is a factor in global warming. Unfortunately, he adds, because air conditioning leads to
higher temperatures, people have to use it even more. However, he admits that it provides a healthier
environment for many people in the heat of summer.
