7 A PHARO GAGGE Comfort Researcher

8 A. PHARO GAGGE A Pharo Gagge received a MA from the University of Virginia in 1933 and a PhD from Yale in Dr. Gagge was a renowned biophysicist and professor emeritus of epidemiology (environmental health) at Yale University School of Medicine. Gagge's contributions to the industry and the Society included the following: "Clo" unit used to quantify clothing insulation; "operative temperature" used to combine the air and radiant temperature; and the concept of "skin wettedness" essential to understanding discomfort in heat. In addition, Dr. Gagge made major contributions in the following areas: Human heat balance and equation development, basic formula in human heat exchange; the "Two Node Model" of human temperature regulation; ASHRAE Standard 55, Thermal Environmental Conditions of Human Occupancy, ; and human thermal comfort comprehension and the effective temperature used by ASHRAE. Gagge contributed more than 125 publications to the industry. He was elevated to the grade of ASHRAE Fellow in 1974, awarded the Distinguished Service Award in 1974, received the Louise and Bill Holladay Award in 1981, and the F Paul Anderson Award in A. Pharo Gagge was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame in (Edited extract from ASHRAE Hall of Fame Citation)

18 HENRY L GALSON Henry L Galson was born in Vienna, Austria. He was drafted into the Austrian army during World War I at the age of 17 and was appointed a commissioned officer after only six weeks of basic training. He served in Russia and Italy. He became an ASHRAE member in From 1925 through 1963, he actively pursued inventions and designs receiving 15 patents for HVAC&R apparatus. He was a pioneer in developing self-contained air conditioning equipment and the technical background necessary for the development of heat pumps. In 1933 Galson was the co-recipient of the prestigious John Scott Medal for Scientific Achievement, awarded by the Philadelphia Franklin Institute for his development of the selfcontained air conditioning unit.. During World War II he developed an aircraft spot cooler for the U.S. Air Force suitable for desert warfare, and an anti-submarine weapon. By 1946, he had become an independent consultant, designing the first truly mass-produced unitary air conditioner for the Fedders-Quigan and Rheem Corporations. His designs included window units, food dispensing equipment requiring refrigeration, residential heating and cooling equipment and packaged air conditioners with up to fifteen-ton capacity. Henry L Galson was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame in (Edited extract from ASHRAE Hall of Fame Citation)
