fHIS paper summarizes the comfort, health, and therapeutic aspects of air conditioning in the light of present knowledge and current research. In the evaluation of these aspects, it is desirable to distinguish between winter and summer air conditioning, since the requirements and the effects of air conditions differ considerably in the two seasons. According to engineering terminology, the functions of winter air conditioning are heating, humidification, air circulation, and filtration; those of summer air conditioning are cooling, dehumidification, circulation, and filtration. These definitions are purely arbitrary in that they do not distinguish between important and unimportant functions. |
