The first electrical air conditioning was invented in the year 1902 by an inventor named Carrier, while attempting to control the humidity and heat for publishing company in Brooklyn. The use of air conditioners spread rapidly and has become embedded in a consumer society. over the past few decades the energy of consumption in Saudi Arabia has risen by 35% as a result of using air conditioners in summer, that has inspired me to write this topic. However, the inventing of air conditioner was a huge turning of history and has greatly contributed to produce comfort, improve health, increase efficiency, and raise the overall standard of living. besides it is a great contributor to greenhouse gas. The purpose of this essay is to examine an air conditioning evaluation on …show more content…
It can be significantly decreased airborne disease transmission from an infected patient in the hospital environment as well as being effectively removing allergens from the air and helps people who have Asthma. Furthermore, during summer heatwave, there were increasing in the mortality rate attributed to heart diseases this proportion has dramatically declined because of using air conditioners in homes and workplaces. In contrast, to power air conditioners, the demand of energy has increased continuously in the last decades, which contributed to global warming. In Saudi Arabia for example, around 70% of energy consumption is used to power air conditioners, and the majority of greenhouse gas emission comes from burning fossil fuel for electricity. with the consequences of climate change may also grow the demand in the future. This trend may put further strain on the environment and natural resources. Ultimately, the impact of cooling systems is obviously a serious issue. however, professionals and architects must address it and continue to develop greener effective ways to combat environmental damage and keep indoors

Klinenberg’s compelling use of word choice is displayed all throughout the passage. He says, “What’s indefensible is our habit of converting homes, offices and massive commercial outlets into igloos on summer days.” He uses the word “habit” to reveal to us how often we are prone to rely on air-conditioning to turn our buildings into “igloos”. The negative connotation of the word “habit” forces readers to acknowledge that air-conditioning use is a problem. He uses quotes like “turn down the dial on our own” and “wilt in searing temperatures” to put a certain image in the reader’s mind.
Article 1 David Nelson Crosthwait Jr was born in Nashville, Tennessee on May 27th in 1898. He is and african american pioneer in the field of heating and air conditioning. He is best known for heating up Radio City Music City in New York City. Crosthwait grew up in Kansas City,Missouri, where he attended all-black school. His parents were very encouraging and challenged him to do experiments and to make designs.
The air quality improves by using natural gas to generate electricity instead of coal. The use of natural gas reduces carbon dioxide emissions causing a decrease in air pollution. Some argue that since fracking allows us to obtain more oil, our dependency on foreign oil will decrease. Since our dependency should decrease other foreign countries will lower their tax rates. They will lower taxes because they know we are not dependent of them and their oil.
DeekshithKumar Thadishetti Professor mankerian LS 690 July 31 2015 Climate change is one of the global issue that requires multiperspective approach. One of the key cause of climate change is air pollution. Air pollution occurs as a result of release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. There are two key sources of air pollution that should be targeted if the air pollution is to be reduced. The first source is the industrial stationay sources, which include electric power facilities.
In “Viewpoint: Air-Conditioning will be the end of us,” Eric Klinenberg uses counterargument, personal anecdote, and he provides solutions to help build his argument. He first supplies a personal anecdote in order for the reader to relate more towards him as well as have the reader recount a similar story. He then uses counterarguments in order to show his expertise on the topic. After both personal anecdote and counterargument are used, he follows by supplying solutions in an attempt to persuade the reader more towards his viewpoint. Klinenberg tells the reader of a event that happened to him within the week of writing the article.
The Board was deliberating between installing a main air conditioning unit that would manage the temperature throughout the entire building which, would total around seven hundred thirty thousand and require installing pipe throughout the entirety of the building. Or go with the alternative of installing air conditioning units in every room which would total around three hundred thirty-five thousand. The Board chose to proceed with the latter due to longevity and overall quality of life for dorm residents who would be able to adjust temperatures in their rooms as they see fit. The Board unanimously agreed to hold bidding for the second option of individual A/C units. Finally, the meeting adjourned after the new president of the school Dr. Brenda Kays announced upcoming
On certain summer days, the dumpster reached up to 130 degrees fahrenheit, and often times dropped to only 80 degrees at night. After living in an oven for six months, he decided it was it was about time to install an air conditioner on the side. Wilson says, “‘We didn’t want to make it too easy. I wanted to see how elastic my sleeping habits would be relative to temperature and humidity. I found that I could actually get to sleep pretty well as long as I went to bed at about 11:00 p.m.’”
He uses his advocacy for air conditioning to gently approach the uncomfortable topic of our wrong-doings saying, “I’m hardly against air conditioning… it can save the lives of sick, elderly, and frail… [it] can enhance productivity and make factories safer for workers.” Gaining trust from the audience he continues to tackle the issue by suggesting that instead of complying with our expectation of having our thermostats set to “Igloo, arctic and frigid” we should use our air conditioning responsibly, such as reducing indoor temperatures to the mid-70s and no farther. However he is not convinced our culture would ever readily agree to limitations of this nature, therefore, Klinenberg suggests that there be new rules and regulations instituted concerning the use of air
Climate change is believed to be the biggest issue facing the Earth. It is a long-term change in the Earth’s temperatures and climate (“Climate Change”, Dictionary.com). Our atmosphere is part of the reason why we can live on Earth with reasonable temperatures. Humans have been emitting unnatural greenhouse gases, like coal, oil, and gas. This is changing the natural systems that take place in our atmosphere.
1. Introduction Air pollutin is a public health concern and it has been since the discovery of fire. Incidents and episodes of air pollution have been recorded throughout the history. Air pollution is divided into two, it is the indoor air pollution and the outdoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution is produced in households or at offices by pollutants such as tobacco smoke, household products or pesticides.
IMPACTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ON THE ENVIRONMENT SLINDILE.C MAZIBUKO 215011983 UNIVERSITY OF KWAZULU NATAL WESTVILLE CAMPUS DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA ABSTRACT One of the biggest problems facing the world today is global warming. It is evident that there is climate change around the world. In recent years, we have so many unusual hurricanes, typhoons, floods, droughts and earthquakes. Plants and animals that lived in the cold climates are now disappearing.
Energy consumption is an essential element in development and while the increase in energy use has many benefits, we are becoming also aware of the negative impacts of energy use. These negative impacts are both global and local in the form of climate change or environmental degradation ( for example poor air quality, desertification, resource depletion, and noise pollution) etc. As a matter of urgency, we need to cultivate an alternative and efficient use of energy at all stages of supply and demand chain in order to reduce the negative impacts of energy consumption and at the same time accommodate same and flourishing economic development. Generally, the 21st century has been so far overshadowed by changes in the way we understand and use energy compared to the
World energy consumption is growing rapidly and is raising huge concern over supply difficulties, over consumption of energy resources and its heavy impact on environment. The rapid growth of population is also bringing the high demand for building services and comfort levels. Furthermore, the longer time staying of residents in buildings will assure the upward trend of energy consumption demand in the future. The higher demand in energy requires the building to be more energy efficient in all levels of regional, national, and international. Among the building services the demand for HVAC systems energy use is significantly growing which based on department of energy it includes 50% of building consumption and 20% of total consumption in the
For many years now, it has been debated which of the new and upcoming renewable and sustainable energy sources if the best to use. Energy create from wind, is a very favourable contented in this debate as it is a very good alternative energy source. Wind energy is used all around the world. Humanity has been using wind energy for over 100 years. For example, we used to (some still do) use the wind energy to grind grain in old fashioned wind mills..
