Culture & Environment

Human culture is the most important part of the ecosystem.  It affects both operation (how the components are manipulated) and outcome (perception of comfort).

We recommend visiting the building often at different times of day, at different periods during the usage cycle, and always ask for feedback.  You can certainly carry a laser thermometer and measure (objectively) the temperature of different surfaces.

But more important, ask people how they feel, are they comfortable – comfort is the goal, after all, not a specific temperature

By treating the building and the people in it as an ecosystem rather than a mechanical system, new possibilities open up.
