Crowd optimization of ambient conditions

A method of optimizing ambient conditions of a physical location based upon input entered from a plurality of users in the physical location on a plurality of input devices distributed at various places in the physical location, comprising;

• programming a controller to receive selections from the users via the plurality of input devices;
• and
• without foreknowledge of ambient condition preferences of the users, adjusting at least one ambient condition of the physical location according to all or substantially all the received selections thereby avoiding dominance of ambient conditions by less than said substantially all the users.

A computing system for optimizing ambient conditions of a physical location based upon input entered from a plurality of users in the physical location on a plurality of input devices distributed at various places throughout the physical location, comprising a controller configured to receive multiple selections from the plurality of users regarding their preferences of the ambient conditions, the controller configured to said receive multiple selections without foreknowledge of ambient condition preferences of the users and via the plurality of input devices to thereafter send a signal to a light, an HVAC unit, a motor or fan to adjust from a first setting to a second setting one of a lighting level, a temperature, a sound, and an air flow in the physical location.

A computer program product for installing on a controller to optimize ambient conditions of a physical location based upon inputs entered from a plurality of users in the physical location on a plurality of input devices distributed at various places throughout the physical location, the computer program product having executable instructions to configure the controller to recognize multiple selections from the plurality of users regarding their preferences of the ambient conditions without foreknowledge of ambient condition preferences of the users.
