Air conditioning in the apartment

Each of our rental units has air conditioning. This is part of the American standard.
 

Air conditioning in the apartments of FALLING WATERS

The air conditioning systems in FALLING WATERS consist of two components.
(1) The noise-causing "concrete mixer" (compressor) is located in Falling Waters at the head of each house and there on the ground level. Noises from the devices, goes in any case away from the respective house.
(2) The second (and quiet) part of the air conditioning system is located in the laundry room of the respective apartment, and there also in the extreme corner of the room - away from the door. This component of the air conditioning system is the so-called 'air handler'. It must be in the apartment and this is also the case in the most expensive villas on the beach.
Each house usually has 5 ground floor apartments and 5 upper floor apartments. So if your rented apartment is located on the second floor and in the middle of the house (apartment #4 or #6), disturbing noise from the compressors is kept to a minimum. However, if your air conditioner is 'off', and you sleep with the window open and neighbors have the air conditioning 'on', than outside devices can be heard. In FALLING WATERS both the master and the guest rooms are the same regarding noises. If you have a big apartment with a 'Den', that means with a third room, so the apartment is located at the head of the house. On the ground floor, the window of the third room has the outdoor climate equipment 'in front of the nose'.

Air conditioning in the apartments of WINTERPARK

The air conditioning systems in WINTERPARK consist of two components.
(1) The noise-causing "concrete mixer" (compressor) is located in WINTERPARK outside, on the ground floor in front of the guest room window. Both compressors, both from the ground floor and from the upper floor apartment are there. If people are very sensitive to noise, should not sleep in this room. The disturbance factor in the guest room of the upper floor is, of course, slightly lower than on the ground floor.
(2) The second part of the air conditioning system is located in the laundry room of the respective apartment. This quiet component of the air conditioning system is the so-called 'air handler'. It must be in the apartment and this is also the case in the most expensive villas on the beach.
Each house in the WINTERPARK is built, that the guest rooms with the outdoor air-conditioning devices are on the entrance, thus the street side. The master bedrooms of all apartments (also the other houses) are on the other side of the house. And are the least affected by noise.
