Abstract
A system and method for providing individualized climate control for guests seated at a table. Air flows from vents in the table, providing either warming, cooling, or fresh air as appropriate. The vents include means of adjustment so that each guest may personalize the amount of air flow as well as the direction of air flow. The air is provided from a centralized heating and/or cooling system and is piped through the floor. The air is directed up from the floor to the table through one or more pipes located in the table base. The floor includes a plurality of air vents that can be used to connect the underfloor air system to the table bases. The system allows for easy reconfiguration, as tables can be easily repositioned and connected at other ports.
