THE SHIFT

From equipment-by-equipment control to State Design for the entire space.

Rather than operating devices individually, we shape the state of the entire space according to people, use, and time.

Before

Equipment-by-Equipment Control

Device-by-device control

Equipment-by-equipment control: air conditioning, lighting, sensors, security, control panels, and meters each operating individually.

Analysis, individual control, and point-to-point explanation

Equipment-by-equipment optimization / siloed operation

After

State Design for the Entire Space

State-centered spatial design

State Design for the entire space: air conditioning, lighting, sensors, security, meters, and control panels integrated within a single space.

Integration, cross-domain optimization, and whole-space design

Reading the state of a space to create better experiences and outcomes

PHILOSOPHY

Design the conditions that create the desired state.

Create the desired spatial state through the design of conditions, not individual devices.

  • Natural Light
  • Purpose
  • People
  • Data
  • Time
  • Sight
  • Hearing
  • Smell
  • Taste
  • Touch

SPATIAL OPTIMIZATION

MNT's Approach to Spatial Optimization

Optimizing people, energy, and cost separately does not create spatial value.
