What Happened On December 3rd?

On today’s date in 1911, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) were presented with the work of “Rational Psychrometric Formulae” by Willis H. Carrier, a pioneering American engineer.” This influential presentation not only revolutionized the field of air conditioning but laid the foundation for modern HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems that have become indispensable in our daily lives.

Willis Carrier’s rational psychrometric formulae had an immediate and transformative impact on the field of air conditioning that we all use on a daily basis today. It allowed for precise control of indoor environments, ensuring comfort and improving productivity.
