A control panel for an enclosed space, set into a cutout in the wall of the enclosed space, that can rotate at least 180 degrees so as to be accessible from either the inside or the outside of the enclosed space.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An environmental control system for an enclosed space, comprising:
an opening within a wall of the enclosed space;
a control panel that is of a size and shape such that it can pass through the opening;
a rotating mount attached to the control panel that enables the control panel to rotate at least 180 degrees within the opening.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The environmental control system of claim 1, where the enclosed space is a sauna.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The environmental control system of claim 1, where the control panel is a touchscreen.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The environmental control system of claim 1, further comprising:
an insulating seal attached to the control panel in such a way as to substantially prevent outside air from mixing with inside air when the control panel is substantially coplanar with the wall.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The environmental control system of claim 1, further comprising:
an insulating seal attached to the opening in such a way as to substantially prevent outside air from mixing with inside air when the control panel is substantially coplanar with the wall.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The environmental control system of claim 1, where the rotating mount comprises a hollow tube through which cables may be routed to the control panel.
