Air conditioning – Its architectural, structural and client relationship
The first question is why provide comfort air-conditioning (AC) at all? In considerations of whether or not to adopt AC, a point to remember constantly is that only AC can provide effective cooling in the summer period in the UK, whereas, by contrast, the provision of ventilation, either by natural or mechanical means, and other palliative measures, such as the introduction of solar control glazing, blinds, etc, can do no more than relieve the degree of over-heating, at best and if at all.
