It's getting hot in here!

Lisa Miles
Did you know that on this day in 1902 drawings for the worlds first air-conditioning system were created and submitted by Willis Carrier?

I would personally like to thank Mr Carrier for making the IET's office in Stevenage a pleasant environment to work in during this extended heatwave the UK is currently experiencing!

    Air conditioning is not particularly common in buildings in the UK compared with countries with warmer climates but why did it take so long for it to become a common feature on cars? It was actually possible to buy a Triumph Acclaim with air conditioning in 1983 but the number of customers who picked this option were very low. Even Ford Sierras with air conditioning were rare and highly sought after.
