Environment optimization for space based on presence and activities

A system for facilitating at least first and second different activities within a space, the system comprising:

• a first set of environmental control affordances including at least a first subset of lighting devices;
• a wireless access device;
• a processor linked to the first set of environmental control affordances and to the wireless access device, the processor programmed to perform the steps of:
• monitoring the wireless access device to identify transmissions from a portable personal device with a wireless transceiver proximate the space, the portable personal device having at least one sensor operable to produce trigger signals;
• monitoring communications from the portable personal device for trigger signals associated with the space;
• when a trigger occurs:
• (i) determining which of the first and second activities to facilitate;
• (ii) when the first activity is to be facilitated, controlling the environmental control affordances to present a first series of environments associated with the first activity;
• and
• (iii) when the second activity is to be facilitated, controlling the environmental control affordances to present a second series of environments associated with the second activity.
