Residential Air Conditioning
Pioneer Work Brought Here

Washington has been selected by
the General Electric Air Condition
ing Institute as location to pioneer
in residential air conditioning. and
this equipment will be installed in
large development of moderately
priced homes which are being built
in the vicinity of Fourteenth and
Rittenhouse streets, according to an
announcement today.
The 48 homes in the development.
priced at approximately $4,000. are
being built by Washington Builders
Inc, of which Frank Koplin is presi-
dent. The site of the houses is an
elevation overlooking Rock Creek
Park.
Air conditioning has previously seen
its greatest acceptance for industrial
and commercial use-in factories,
theaters, restaurants, stores. hotels
and trains-where profit is a major
factor of its use. Comfort condition
ing of homes is more recent devel-
to individual residences of higher
price.
Year Round Conditioning.
Even these have seldom been
equipped throughout with complete
year-around conditioning. Domestic
Summer cooling has been usually
limited to single room applications,
effected by self f-contained room units.
Now available for homes in a wide
price range, complete year-around
conditioning gains increasing import
ance in the current housing boom.
Designed by Harry Sternfeld,
prominent architect and professor of
architecture at the University of
Pennsylvania, the houses are of the

about 80 per cent ahead OF the resi-
dental volume recorded for May, 1884.

Writing in the July Architectural
Record. Mr.. Schnitman states: Be
cause of continued expansion in &C
tivity in private as distinguished from
public undertakings, the May contract
total for all classes of construction
was the largest thus far recorded for
any month of 1885. Total construc-
ton awards in 81 States during May
amounted to sl26,718,600, as COM
pared with S124,020,000 for April and
s134,363, 700 for May, 1885. OF the
May, 1885, total residential building
amounted to s44,eOl 500 or about 35
per cent. In April the residential

cess of that recorded for 1884.
For residential building, contracts
