1. A computer controlled method for dynamically controlling the ambient temperature in an enclosed room containing a plurality of people comprisingstoring a set of parameters to be correlated with sensed body temperatures in determining a selected optimum room temperature including:

  • predetermined temperature related data profiles of people having potential subsequent entry into said room; and

    predetermined facial recognition profiles of said people having said potential subsequent entry into said room; and

    identifying people subsequently entering said room by video monitoring people entering said room to recognize facial profiles of said people stored in said stored data profiles;

    comparing the identified people to determine if said identified people have stored data profiles;

    in response to the determination of identified people having stored profiles, sensing the body temperature of a plurality of people in said room having stored profiles;

    wirelessly transmitting said sensed body temperatures of said plurality of people to be correlated with said set of parameters wherein said optimum room temperature is determined; and

    controlling the room temperature using a heat/cool device to provide the selected optimum room temperature.
