Abstract: A climate control bench having air conditioning units delivering conditioned air through air vents in a housing, the bench having a channel return air intake returning conditioned air to the air conditioning units and an ambient air intake delivering non-conditioned ambient air to the air conditioning units, a removable cover for the channel return air intake and a removable cover for the ambient air intake, such either of the intakes may be open with the other closed, or such that both the intakes may be open.

Abstract: A cooling or heating system creating an open temperature-controlled zone for personnel, the system having HVAC equipment for producing and delivering cooled or heated air, a lower air outlet disposed in a deck member, an upper air outlet disposed in a wall member, and a central air intake disposed between the lower and upper air outlets, whereby conditioned air expelled from the lower and upper air outlets is recycled through the central air intake and HVAC equipment.

Abstract: A temperature modifying system for footwear having an air diverter positioned on top of the rear portion of the shoe insole, bores passing from an insole aperture beneath the air diverter to a supply port, and an AC system adapted to deliver conditioned air into the shoe through the supply port, bores, insole aperture and air channels located in the air diverter. The AC system is releasably connected to the shoe. A shoe may be retrofitted with the tubular members, supply port and insole aperture post-manufacture by drilling bores through the heel and insole.

Abstract: A cooling or heating seating system creating an open, unbounded, temperature-controlled zone for personnel, said seating system having HVAC equipment for producing and delivering cooled or heated air, a first air outlet disposed in a deck member, a second air outlet disposed in a seat back member, and a first air return disposed in the seat back member between a seat member and a seat back rest. The system may be transportable.
