Air conditioning, often abbreviated as A/C or air con, is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space to achieve a more comfortable interior temperature and, in some cases, controlling the humidity of internal air. American inventor Willis H. Carrier built what is considered the first modern electrical air conditioning unit in 1901.
