Answer: A - The equipment best suited to optimizing indoor climate control is an HVAC system, or Heating, Ventilating, and Air conditioning.

Key Takeaway: Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning is based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. The three functions of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning are closely interrelated. All seek to provide thermal comfort, acceptable indoor air quality, and reasonable installation, operation, and maintenance costs. Always remember that excess heat is the number one enemy of electronic hardware.
