A. PHARO GAGGE 1908 – 1993

A Pharo Gagge received a MA from the University of Virginia in 1933 and a PhD from Yale

in 1933. 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, 1963-1992; 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 1986. A. Pharo Gagge was inducted into the ASHRAE

Hall of Fame in 1995.

HENRY L GALSON 1900 -1963

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 1935.

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 self-

contained 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 2000.
