Heating, ventilation, and air conditioningHVAC – This was attempted before, but I think it is worthwhile to make a new attempt. Per MOS:ACROTITLE, this abbreviation is primarily used for this subject and the subject is known primariliy by its abbreviation. PhotographyEdits (talk) 08:32, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Here is a link to the previous discussion. It looks like one guy wrote oppose, but agreed with the name change (I think he was confused about what the vote was about). Also, as you mention, MOS:ACROTITLE wasn't a thing back then. Also, a quick search in Google Scholar even seems to agree that most academic literature appears to use the word HVAC, and news articles use the word HVAC as well.

  • Oppose As a HVAC tech off wiki I have to oppose this I think that having each word spelled out and explaining it then using HVAC/HVACR is better for the average reader. I do think its important to keep the terms HVAC and HVACR near the top of the article.

HVAC V= Ventilating vs Ventilation

[edit]

Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning is the proper compound for HVAC. The "V" being Ventilating not Ventilation. This is not semantics. This should be obvious to a Mechanical engineer with a minor in linguistics. For the rest of us, we can look at the history of the creation of the acronym. As any HVAC professional would know, The American Society of Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and their lineage is what shaped the entire industry. Their history starts with the American Society Of Heating and Ventilating Engineers (ASHVE) in 1895. The ASHVE changed to HSH&VE then the ASHAE ( American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers). ASHRAE Was formed in 1959 by the merger of ASHAE and American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE) founded in 1904. The ASHRAE handbook origin first published in 1922 by the ASH&VE as the Heating and ventilating guide. Today ASHRAE publishes this as Principles of Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning Ninth Edition and Describes it as key HVAC fundamentals. All the information I have provided here. Except the first four sentences comes from articles found on the ASHRAE web site, This in itself gives this credibility. Also note in every case "V" stands for ventilating.
