A Selected Bibliography on 19th Century Heating and Ventilating (1976)

unapi

The preservation and restoration of old buildings is expanding the interest in early mechanical systems used in buildings. Interest in the heating and ventilating systems of old buildings is important in two ways. First, the simple maintenance or reuse of original installations may prove more economical than installing new systems. Equally important, extensive and occasionally elaborate mechanical systems of older buildings tell a story of American "knowhow" which is significant to historians of technology. This American "knowhow" is primarily displayed in surviving artifacts. Thus, the few remaining heating and ventilating systems need to be recorded and evaluated, especially if they are threatened with de- molition. Such evaluations can be made only with the help of contemporary technical literature.
