Split HVAC terms into a list article?

What do people think of splitting the "HVAC terms" section into a separate list article? It is unlikely it will ever be converted into prose, and in my opinion breaks up the article a lot in its current format. Of course any of the terms actually used in the article should be wikilinked so that will help the reader with unfamiliar words. Thoughts? Jminthorne (talk) 02:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have started a draft list article at User:Jminthorne/DRAFT Glossary of HVAC terms. Jminthorne (talk) 03:37, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done. The new page is Glossary of HVAC Jminthorne (talk) 03:54, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Archival

Hope I'm not being too verbose, but one more thought. Can we start an auto-archive on this talk page? I find it a little hard to navigate and I generally like having old topics moved out of sight. I'll start an archive bot in a few days unless there is an objection. Jminthorne (talk) 02:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added an archival bot. Jminthorne (talk) 23:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To do list

In the spirit of johntindale's earlier efforts, I've added a to do template to the page. Jminthorne (talk) 23:31, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone disagrees with the items I have added to the to-do list, please strike them through and open a discussion section so I know my suggestions do not reflect consensus. Thanks! Jminthorne (talk) 02:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Header Tags

I removed the unreferenced tag since this article clearly has references. However, we also need more citations, so I added an article issues tag with some of the comments I've raised here. Jminthorne (talk) 01:22, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What About Global Climate Control?

I typed in Climate Control thinking about the global climate and wanting to know what scientists have figured out and what measures are being taken to develop human control of the Earth's climate and it redirected here. Is there an article that covers what I was looking for? If yes then there should be a disambiguation page.68.84.184.56 (talk) 00:33, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do we need two articles?

Do we need two articles - HVAC and Air conditioning? Biscuittin (talk) 19:04, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support (Conditionally) — The proposed merger makes sense logically, but is going to be a lot of work, and should not be initiated without a commitment and a clear plan to do it properly. The combined material is likely to be quite lengthy, even after trimming duplication of content. Careful reorganization is needed to avoid losing useful material. Some sections, such as "History" probably should be spun off as separate articles. I support a merger, only on condition that a clear plan for reorganization is discussed and agreed upon in advance.

I see that both a merger and a renaming have been proposed, causing some confusion. I think the renaming is relatively easy and non-controversial, and support doing it as proposed. Reify-tech (talk) 19:34, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. HVAC uses heaters and air conditioning to accomplish a task, but HVAC need not be an all-encompassing article. Both articles are reasonably sized. Air conditioning should be about the refrigeration aspects (and perhaps humidity control). There's an air conditioner in my car (and a heater and some ducts), but I don't consider that application to be HVAC. HVAC to me is peculiar to buildings, but even then I don't consider a room air conditioner that gets crammed in a window to be HVAC. HVAC engineers may use furnaces, steam, heaters, chillers, and condensers, but they use them more as building blocks. Let there be separate articles about those blocks that can explain their history and technology. Glrx (talk) 22:45, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
