Air Conditioning And The Environmental Impact
When you think of air conditioning, do you ever wonder who made it, the history behind it, maybe different applications involved or even environmental concerns? Well, if so, then you have come to the right place. We will not only go over each of these but you will find that a Sub-Heading for ease of use marks each section.
The Air Conditioner was first introduced in 1820 by Michael Faraday a British Scientist and Inventor. He discovered that by compressing liquefied ammonia you could cause the rooms are temperature to cool down. Dr. John Gorrie who used this technology to make ice for his patients later followed this up. Once the Doctor had proven that using the ice helped his patients he then received a grant to do more studies. However this was not meant to be and it was another 50 years before the first air condition was made in 1902.
An air conditioner is a machine designed to create cool air using a refrigeration system.
THE HISTORY OF THE AIR CONDITIONER
The Air Conditioner or its uses and methods can be traced back to Medieval Persia, where they used large open pools to hold water while using wind towers using tunnel like pipes to catch the wind and push it into another direction. This caused the collected water to evaporate and cool the buildings during the hot seasons.
While the modern air conditioner was first introduced in 1902 for factories, the first home and car air conditioner was not brought in until 1950.
First is the Comfort Application, which is designed to keep indoors comfortable for both mankind and our animals. There are different types of this application and are used in such places as Residential Homes and Buildings, Commercial Properties, Schools and other Institutions. This application is also used for personal Aircraft, Ships, Spacecraft, Trains, and Vehicles.
Then we have the Process Application, which is geared for the place it is located such as Operating Rooms, Static Clean or Data Rooms, Breeding Facilities, Airplanes, Factories, Testing Facilities, Greenhouses, Mines, Kitchens, and Nuclear Plants. Each of these areas has to maintain a center degree and this application provides that safely.
Many people forget that we have to be careful of what we do and how we use such conveniences as the Air Conditioner, but as the Earths health slowly declines and we have more and more health related issues in today’s society we have to take care. When you don’t take care of your air conditioner properly you set the stage for the outbreak of Microorganisms that contribute to anything from the common everyday cold to pneumonia, or even asthma. Which if you have ever had an allergy reaction or worse an asthmatic attack then you know how life threatening this can be.
Not to mention the fact an air conditioner, if maintained properly, can save on your heating and electric bill, as well as cut down on the electricity that, in turn, cuts down on the emissions from both the AC unit and your local power plant.

Emotions and environment are separate issues, almost mutually exclusive. And by conditions, there is almost an infinite number of implications by that. But here has been my observation:
It’s a fact that there is a limited amount of resources. It is a fact that the world’s population is growing exponentially. The economic problem is defined as allocating limited resources to the seemingly unlimited desires of the population (whether or not it is growing). Here’s where I try to tie this fact in to your question.
Human beings are the only being that governs their behavior not by instinct, and not even necessarily by knowledge, but by belief. Belief that God will provide and protect, so we can consume as we please. Belief that the enemy will invade, therefore burn the resources to prevent the enemy from obtaining them. Belief that the public will get loans and buy the cars we produce, therefore fill countless dealership lots with unbought–and in our current economy, unaffordable–steel, rubber and plastic.
And with an exponentially increasing population, each one of us should ask ourselves more and more: "What if everyone does what I do and uses the amount of resources I use?"

what are various theories on the way human emotions and conditions impact environmental processes?
Religious/Philosophical.. mainly revolving around cognitive energy and auras, emotions and their connection to world energy?
