Product Summary:

Every individual is different. If one personal is too hot at 70 degrees, someone else is too cold. In an effort to keep everyone at their ideal working temperature, each of the work stations have individual temperature control through controlling the vents. Most systems will only control the amount of cool or warm air, but some will actually control the temperature.

Temperature control is achieved through an associated damper controlling air delivery to the workstation. Several methods for delivery of air to the workstation are available:
- from the ceiling using an air jet or nozzle
- through the furniture system—at floor level or desktop
- through underfloor plenum and floor diffusers.

Each of these methods can be implemented with the appropriate mechanisms for varying the airflow at the point of delivery. This approach ensures that air is delivered to the occupant space. A motion sensor detects the absence of occupant and lowers air delivery to minimum setting to satisfy outdoor air requirements. This results in reduced energy required to deliver conditioned air to work area.

Architectural Applications:

If having control over the temperature in the office is important, it is just as important in the family car. If each person had control over the cool or warm air blowing on them would be much better than the temperature being dictacted by majority or the driver. This will make long and short car trips more pleasant since there would be one less thing to complain about. Now all that is needed is individual movie/music players and headphones, car vacations may be enjoyable instead of a fued.
