ASHRAE's Insight Featured in Recent History Channel Hvacr Program
Reminiscences from two ASHRAE members on hvacr history were
featured in a program shown recently on The History Channel. The program, titled Modern Marvels: Fire and Ice, was broadcast on April 18. The show is one hour in length and covers the
history of heating and air conditioning, hvac in homes and buildings,
automobiles, airplanes, clean rooms and space suits.
The History Channel describes the program as "Who could imagine life
without our 'man-made weather'? On cold winter nights and hot summer days,
we are forever grateful to the visionaries who took two basic elements—fire and ice—and turned them into true modern marvels. . .as we learn in this chronicle of heating and air conditioning that covers advancements from the home and industry to outer space and beyond!"
