By Bernard Nagengast, Member ASHRAE, and Gerald Groff
The centennial of the founding of ASHRAE's predecessor society, ASHVE, was celebrated in 1994. That celebration included publishing Heat & Cold: Mastering the Great Indoors. The original manuscript featured a chronology of significant innovations in HVAC&R. However, space limitations precluded its inclusion in the book. For the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers centennial in 2005, the original chronology was updated with the AC&R information excerpted. This work is a sampling of the chronology, with some illustrations added, covering technical innovations from a century ago. Read the article here.
