In 1953 alone, 1 million air conditioners were sold.

1957: Quieter air conditioning units were produced, thanks to the invention of the rotary compressor, which created the same effect with greater efficiency.

Basile points out another, less obvious move that increased the device’s popularity: In 1959, the United States Weather Bureau created its “discomfort index”—we know it today as the heat index, a measure of temperature and humidity combined.

By 1989, the Montreal Protocol was enacted in an effort to cut the release of chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, into the atmosphere.

Impressively, new air conditioners today use about 50 percent less energy than they did in 1990.

Since 1992, the Energy Department has issued conservation standards for manufacturers of residential central air conditioners and heat pumps.

He started in the HVAC industry in 1998 as a residential installer.

In 2000, air conditioning/refrigeration was named among the 10 greatest mechanical engineering achievements of the 20th century, according to a survey of ASME members.

Jeremy stayed at NVH until 2011 when he started his own company.

In 2012 they decided to go into business together and have grown a long list of clients which continues to grow every day.

According to Daniel Morrison, the acting deputy director of communications at the United States Department of Energy, residential and commercial buildings used more than 500 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity for air-conditioning in 2015 alone.
