Methods for enhancing wellness associated with habitable environments
First Claim
1. A method of operation in an environmental control system which includes at least one processor, at least one nontransitory processor-readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and which stores at least one of instructions or data executable by the at least one processor and a plurality of active subsystems operable to effect a condition in a habitable space, the method comprising:
- collecting habitable space wellness data that includes, for at least the habitable space, at least one wellness parameter indicative of a wellness associated with the respective habitable space;
collecting personal wellness data that includes, for each of at least one individual who occupies the at least one habitable space, at least one wellness parameter indicative of a wellness associated with the respective individual;
identifying at least one pattern in the collected personal wellness data via at least one machine learning algorithm executed by the at least one processor;
identifying at least one pattern in the collected habitable space wellness data via at least one machine learning algorithm executed by the at least one processor;
determining, by the at least one processor, at least one adjustment to at least one operational parameter based on the identified at least one pattern in the collected personal wellness data and the collected habitable space wellness data; and
adjusting, by the at least one processor, a baseline set of operational parameters of each of a plurality of active subsystems based on both the collected habitable space wellness data and the collected personal wellness data.

Abstract
Environmental characteristics of habitable environments (e.g., hotel or motel rooms, spas, resorts, cruise boat cabins, offices, hospitals and/or homes, apartments or residences) are controlled to eliminate, reduce or ameliorate adverse or harmful aspects and introduce, increase or enhance beneficial aspects in order to improve a “wellness” or sense of “wellbeing” provided via the environments. Control of intensity and wavelength distribution of passive and active Illumination addresses various issues, symptoms or syndromes, for instance to maintain a circadian rhythm or cycle, adjust for “jet lag” or season affective disorder, etc. Air quality and attributes are controlled. Scent(s) may be dispersed. Noise is reduced and sounds (e.g., masking, music, natural) may be provided. Environmental and biometric feedback is provided. Experimentation and machine learning are used to improve health outcomes and wellness standards.
