Air conditioning: History, Politics, Applications & Measurement

Air conditioning, often abbreviated as A/C (US) or air con (UK), is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space to achieve a more comfortable interior temperature and, in some cases, controlling the humidity of internal air. Air conditioning can be achieved using a mechanical air conditioner or through other methods, such as passive cooling and…
