Your manager is investigating how to budget for major updates to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system at the hotel in which you both work. Your manager tasks you with reporting on recent trends in facility design and human comfort in the hospitality industry.

The report should discuss new developments in HVAC systems, and your report should include information on new and/or upcoming trends that may contribute to human comfort in the hospitality industry.
