Patent Images
1. An environment control system for a venue, the environment control system comprising:
- a controllable device configured to perform at least one of heating, cooling or ventilation of the venue;
a plurality of input devices disposed throughout the venue, each input device associated with a gaming device in the venue and operable by a user to input environment feedback;
a venue management system configured to receive the environment feedback and add location information to the environment feedback based on the input device from which the environment feedback is received; and
an environment controller configured to control the at least one controllable device by adjusting a control parameter of the at least one controllable device based on the environment feedback and location information.
