ABSTRACT
The key strategic directions for environmental systems manufacturers to consider are to:
Provide controls which are capable of responding to changing patterns of occupancy in a speedy, cost effective and energy efficient manner.
Provide intelligent controls for individuals, teams and support spaces which allow maximum discretion for users and minimise operating costs, and which also greatly simplify the interface between the end user and the system.
Develop strategies for effective mixed mode operations and focus on distributed systems because user demand for them is more likely to increase most quickly.
Focus on how radiative and all air systems can be enhanced to be more suitable for the finer forms of control and responsiveness required by den and club organisations, and how they can be most effectively used within a mixed mode strategy.
Enhance the effectiveness of maintenance routines through the use of advanced control and modelling techniques, and increase the ease of maintenance.
