Air conditioning is the cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for thermal comfort. In a broader sense, the term can refer to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation, or disinfection that modifies the condition of air. An air conditioner (often referred to as AC or air con.) is an appliance, system, or machine designed to stabilise the air temperature and humidity within an area (used for cooling as well as heating depending on the air properties at a given time), typically using a refrigeration cycle but sometimes using evaporation, commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and motor vehicles.

The concept of air conditioning is known to have been applied in Ancient Rome, where aqueduct water was circulated through the walls of certain houses to cool them. Similar techniques in medieval Persia involved the use of cisterns and wind towers to cool buildings during the hot season. Modern air conditioning emerged from advances in chemistry during the 19th century, and the first large-scale electrical air conditioning was invented and used in 1902 by Willis Haviland Carrier.

What is the average temperature you set your air conditioning at?
Q. We live in central FL. My husband is from a tropical climate and does not want to use air conditioning at all. I would love the air to be set at about 75 but have compromised and am willing to have it set at 80 degrees. I think this is very reasonable, but he insists it is set at about 83 degrees if it is on at all. At this temperature I am very uncomfortable and have trouble sleeping. Am I being unreasonable here or is he?

A. 76 is average. Older folks like it a bit warmer. I think 83 is too high.
