Today's Shocking Futuristic Message Are you ready? ing HVAC Systems for Buildings is ALL WRONG!!!!!! To much of the world, interior design is about creating rooms that are works of art, not about creating interior environments that are safe and healthy 1

2 The Human Body Fine or Performing Arts? Think DNA, Genetics, Survival Form Just Think! Time To Think Seriously HVAC for Bodies or Buildings? Our Past Sins Forgiven & Forgotten Hardly & Never Market Share What has the industry accomplished by: Introducing more new stuff? Selling this years model? Making things more techie? What does it mean if your company is selling more but industry market share remains the same? Is this good? If Market Share Was a Heart Monitor Market share Perception and Value How Can It Be That Radiant Is Too Pricy When Americans Families Are Getting Smaller But Building Bigger Homes! Burn Baby Burn Fewer and fewer people occupying bigger and bigger homes burning more fuel it s all messed up. Green vs. Green and what s worse Builders Prevail Against Costly Energy Code Change NAHB prevailed in an effort to roll back new, more stringent insulation requirements at International Code Council hearings in Detroit on Sept Spending Wave - Baby Boomers Executives and directors at many of the nation's largest development companies sold stock at a record pace this summer. Oct. 2005, Thomson Financial Courtesy of HS Dent Corporation 70 Million Baby Boomers Begin to Retire Into Rising Fuel Cost CPI Labor Shrinkage Builders Prevail Against Costly Energy Code Change NAHB prevailed in an effort to roll back new, more stringent insulation requirements at International Code Council hearings in Detroit on Dow Jones Sept

3 If market share hasn t changed in 30 years What does it say about the comfort pitch? What does it say about the efficiency pitch? What will happen when (not if) building technology makes both of these obsolete? Ctrl Alt Delete One Idea Beyond aesthetics and availability, product manufacturers are doing more to research how their products can have an impact on outcomes in healthcare environments. Debra J Levin, Health s The ability to enhance the human condition through the environments we inhabit is the special province of interior design. American Society of Interior ers Normal physiological changes that come with aging will exacerbate individual differences American Society of Interior ers Noise and thermal discomfort already rank highest among employee complaints about the physical work environment, and they are likely to be more of an issue for aging Boomers American Society of Interior ers providing healthy and safe environments in which to work will be critical for employers seeking to recruit and retain older workers. American Society of Interior ers Do the words plumber or tinsmith describe this profession? Who Ya Gonna Call? American Society of Interior ers Study 88% of those polled were very satisfied with the work of their interior designer with more than 55% saying they were extremely satisfied. 64 percent of consumers using an interior designer were women. Annual Income of Client = $75,000 to $200,000 3

Six Step Program Adopt Belief to Condition People Not Buildings Learn Human Physiology 1 Rename the Profession Target Audience Raise Rates Retire Are You Ready? The Mind & Body Interface...the judgment of comfort is a cognitive process involving many inputs influenced by physical, physiological, psychological, and thermal perceptions. Seek first to understand Understanding human physiology and psychology is the first step in gaining control. The mind interprets what the body experiences See Smell Convection Taste Mind Body Touch Hear Evaporation Radiant Conduction The Body s Feedback System The Human Body s Thermal Sail Even Keel Control 1. Bulbs of Krause 150,000 sensitive to heat loss. 2. Free Nerve Endings Pain and Touch Sensitive 3. Pacini's Corpuscles Detect Pressure / Vibration ( Hz) 4.

From The School for Blind Children, A Childs Garden to Delight the Senses...it will envelop the senses, stretch the body, tickle the imagination and provide a place in the sun for relaxation and respite Hear the sounds of a waterfall and enjoy the fragrances of earth, flowers and bushes. Touch the flowers set out in raised planters...wind your way up a little hill and through a maze, feeling the path below, touching the walls, learning to trust your sense of direction. Step into the shade. Feel the breeze in the tall grasses. Sit down for a snack and raise your face to the sun selecting plants, grasses, and bushes based on their sensory qualities...children will be attracted to the rustling of leaves and pods, the scent of jasmine, herbs and berries, and the textures of ornamental grasses, lamb s ears, burning bush and oriental arborvitae.
