BROOKLYN, NY — On July 17, 1902, Dr. Willis H. Carrier designed the first air conditioning system that provided temperature, humidity, ventilation, and air quality control for a Brooklyn printing plant. Now, 100 years later to the day, Carrier Corp. returned to dedicate the Willis H. Carrier Academy at Grady Technical High School.
Several Grady students and representatives from the New York Department of Education were present for the dedication ceremony. Geraud Darnis, Carrier president, spoke about the importance of HVACR education and its impact on the industry.
