Question Who was granted the first U.S. Patent for mechanical refrigeration in 1851? ▫John Gorrie ▫Willis Carrier ▫James Trane ▫John Gorrie 3

John Gorrie 1837 - physician for the Marine Hospital Service in Florida Worked with malaria and yellow fever victims – needed to lower their body temperatures Believed these diseases were caused by extreme heat and humidity Believed that cold was a healer and advocated the cooling of sickrooms 4

John Gorrie 5

Ice had to be brought by boat from the northern lakes Ice was expensive and Gorrie wanted a cheaper way to get the ice Developed the first steam-driven compressor to cool air, which led to development of the first ice-making machine Saw cooling potential for buildings and ships (preserving “organic matter”) 6

NY Journalist. “A crank down in Florida thinks he can make ice as good as Almighty God…” 1851. Gorrie receives a U.S. patent on his ice machine and his chief financial backer dies Ice farmers worked against the development of the device Gorrie conclusion - Mechanical refrigeration "has been found in advance of the wants of the country." Financial ruin, a nervous collapse, and dies in seclusion in 1855 at age 51 8

Principles to Remember Use of the money you pay to the utility company to improve your facilities Structure your projects so that there is useful life left in the retrofit measures after the loan is paid Mix shorter payback measures with longer payback measures to get a more comprehensive project 10

Residential Energy Code Update HB1736 Signed by Governor Abbott on June 16 th Beginning September 1, 2016, 2015 International Residential Code is adopted as the energy code in this state for single-family residential construction September 1, 2021 ▫6 years ▫> 9 months for effective date 34
35
Commercial Energy Code Update HB1736 Some statutes authorize certain state agencies and commissions to create rules to help administer and carry out the law. Rules are compiled and organized by subject matter as the Texas Administrative Code.Texas Administrative Code Before changes can be made to the Texas Administrative Code, any proposed changes are first published in the Texas Register,Texas Administrative Code Texas Register 35
