COURIER NEWS MONDAY, MAY SI, 1354 "FILE" FULL OF AIR CONDITIONING There are no visible controls on this new Servel room air conditioner for casement windows and other narrow windows. Instead, the front of the conditioner pulls out like the drawer of a file cabi- net. It has three positions "full cooling" (shown here), "cooling and ventilating" (for warm days), and "ventilating only" (when the outside weather is pleasant.) Serve! Features Easy-fo-Operafe Air Conditioner Single Dial Gives Five Variations of Cooling, Exhausting Many people have been postponing the purchase of a room air con- and putting up with the discomforts of sweltering summer days, because they've been waiting for an air conditioner with several luxury features offered at a moderate cost. The Servel company has designed such an rai conditioner. The new Servel room air conditioner is noted for its smooth, quiet performance, its simple, trouble-free operation and its distinctive modern design.

The owner of a Servel conditioner can. pick ms own weather by turning one simple-to-operate dial, the rest is automatic. To obtain the indoor weather desired, the single dial can be placed in one of 5 positions: 1. power for mountain-top coolness. 2.

In most instances they are just plugged m. Architecture Changed By Air Home design is changing swiftly I property and with the view? Do with the coining age of year-round air conditioning. We're approaching the end of an era when new houses were pretty much like grandfather's. The push for better homes designed around air conditioning is coming from architects, builders, newspaper and magazine architectural specialists, and from the public itself. Some of the long overdue changes may not even be apparent to the ordinary person except in terms of comfort and better Some may lead to definite architectural styles as recognizable in their own way as Cape Cod or Colonial.

Many such as roof overhang and proper orientation have been in the cards for years as an asset to comfort and convenience even without air conditioning, but they are directly related to air conditioning costs. Research by leading engineers and as a result of a $27,800 architectural competition held last year for best designs of air conditioned homes indicates these facts: 1. It is possible to reduce the air conditioning cost both the initial cost and the operating cost by good design. 2. It is possible to provide not only greater comfort but more convenient patterns for day-to-day living and greater privacy through designing for and around air conditioning.

3. Orientation of the house and its window areas, both with respect through the sky, is becoming increasingly important. We are learning to be a nation of sun-respecters. Summer heat is a inexpensive commodity in terms of frayed tempers, they provide privacy where needed and do they permit convenient furniture arrangement? FIXED WINDOWS More of the windows in the house can be fixed not only in high strip windows but in large window areas. This mean; reduced cost for the windows themselves and elimination of many screens, which also cost money.

ROOF OVERHANG Roof overhangs or other shading devices should be provided to protect sun- windows and walls. An overhang can be most effective on a south exposure where it can shade glass and wall area during the summer and expose a portion of it for solar heating in the winter when the sun is lower in the sky. A wider overhang is needed in the northern part of the country than below the Mason-Dixon line because the sun is lower in the sky in the summer in northern areas. Roof overhangs are an important visible style change and can be expected to end the boxy look of so many houses built during the past decade. TRELLISES.

SCREEN WALLS, AND SHRUBS All of these can be used to shade east or west walls A trellis can be designed with re- 'ersible slats which will shut out the heat of the sun during summer and admit it in winter. Or it can Oe covered with vines which leaf in the summer, cutting off the sun's; rays. A combination of a masonry or shrubbery wall and a roof overhang can be used to create a pri-; vate patio outside a west or east- facing master bedroom. The two together will shade the windows; from the sun. Windows facing this patio should be specially arranged I health, and efficiency on the job.
