Pay Attention To This
“It is commonly estimated that
persons in economically developed countries spend at least
80% of their time indoors. This suggests that the quality
of the indoor environment can have a significant impact
on comfort, health, and overall sense of well-being.”

Comfort and Preference, FINAL REPORT, ASHRAE RP- 884, March

What Makes
The Bean Unique?
While obtaining his academic skills, Robert worked
for over 25 years in a number of trades and engineering
disciplines within businesses he started, bought and sold
including the last divesture to Danfoss, Denmark's largest
industrial manufacturer.
It's the combination of commerce, construction and
communication.
www.healthyheating.com
is Robert's big experiment on using the www to arm consumers and
designers with fact based information on integrating
architecture and HVAC systems with environmental ergonomics to
accomplish one thing only:
Creating Thermal Environmental Conditions Suitable for Human
Occupancy
I Call'm as I see'm
Delivering total
human comfort is always the GOAL.

 In 2007, Robert Bean was selected as a Distinguished Lecturer for the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers. He has worked on several peer reviewed publications and serves as a technical resource for numerous organizations and
businesses. Addressing here, the U.S. Army Corp. in Dallas, Texas on Industrial Facilities.
Peer reviewed documents go through a process of
checks and balances carried out by professionals and
experts who challenge the content to ensure it meets
credibility and reliability. Because of this process,
its not uncommon for documents and courses to take a
year or more to publish. Consumers or professionals
learning about indoor environmental quality will find
greater integrity in peer reviewed materials then what
they might find on other internet sites.
