Environmental Systems Corp., Atlanta, GA. – 1967
Occupant comfort in glass facade buildings is the problem for which a solution is suggested. Optimum comfort is obtained by intercepting radiant heat before it enters the room. Through a combination of luminaires, induction boxes, and louvers, a "Lite-Therm System" is presented which integrates lighting, heating, and cooling systems into the…
