Are We Reliant on Air Conditioning in Ann Arbor?

Would you be able to survive a scorching hot summer without the luxury of air conditioning?

Most people can handle hot summers; however, generally most elderly people physically can’t handle the heat. The elderly fail to produce enough sweat and have poor circulation, which causes their body temperatures to rise. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), 155 Americans died from extreme heat in 2012. 

So, in some ways, we ARE reliant on air conditioning to ensure our older residents are kept safe. In addition, no matter where we are, whether it’s going out to the store, the movie theater, or to our friends’ houses, we expect to walk into a climate-controlled facility in which coming in from outside allows us to breathe a sigh of relief. 

According to the research reports we found, there are also many other inventions and businesses that wouldn’t be possible without air conditioning, including:

1. Storing food and medicine in the food and pharmaceutical industry.
2. Protecting important documents from humidity damage, including art.
3. Helping computer systems stay cool.
4. Preventing dehydration and heat stroke at hospitals with elderly patients.
5. Shopping malls and movie theaters wouldn’t exist without good ventilation.
6. Controlling the temperature in a plane allows us to fly higher and make longer trips.

When you think about these inventions and businesses, it would have been next to impossible for success without the invention of air conditioning. Where would our society be without them? Air conditioning isn’t considered a luxury anymore, but a necessity to help keep your family safe and comfortable on hot summer days.
