Air Conditioner Unit
I was watching a video and I just happen to spot an air conditioner unit outside one of the homes. Does anyone know what kind of environmental score it will give off, and does it do anything special?

That is exactly what my AC unit looks like, and in a very simular location. I've never seen units on the roof, unles it is for commercial buildings.
Lol maybe it's location. Where I live all houses' ACs are on the roof.- I hope these get some functionality when Seasons comes out.
- The fan is only decorative but it has moving parts. I like it.

The type of unit, the way the duct work is run and how large the structure is are determining factors whether it's a roof or ground unit.
Here, most houses are ground units. Many roofs are not flat and there is no place to set the unit.
Depending on the size of the apartment building or business, it can be either. Some don't have the ground area and must be placed on the roof.
I really love this unit. :D I read in an earlier thread that the fan turns so that it looks functional.
I thought it would have been introduced with Seasons, but I'll be glad to take it either way! :mrgreen:- A lot of houses I know have a ground AC and one in the attic.
- I live in the Mojave Desert(S. CA) and the swamp coolers are on the roof and air conditioners are on the side of the house.
- Swamp Cooler = Evaporative cooler
In extremely dry climates, evaporative cooling of air has the added benefit of conditioning the air with more moisture for the comfort of building occupants.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler - Is it available to buy in the catalog? I'd like to put it on my houses, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
- I found it in the buydebug mode and I wasn't even looking for it. hope this helps
- Awesome! I'm going to check now and see if I can find it. :)
