The contractor is guided by the architect, so that the work is done expertly. It was an architect who put eight fluorescent tube lights in my office, to be switched on or off with only a single switch. That is to save money, and is also eco friendly. Each switch would get heated up, and if there is only one switch to get heated up, it reduces the carbon footprint. Also, when the repairs are to be done again, there will be only one switch in the waste rather than eight, which reduces environmental pollution.
The same architect got an air conditioner installed in an OT. His efforts must be appreciated. But for the installation, the anesthetists would not have been forced to think out of the box and develop the contraption shown below. It is thinking new thoughts that prevents Alzheimer's disease. So the architect contributed to that preventive process.
The vents for blast of cooled air are so located that the blast is directly on the patient and the anesthetists. That perhaps is important when the patient is to be subjected to hypothermia as in cardiac surgery, and the anesthetist is prone for fits of anger and needs to be cooled down periodically. Fortunately both of these conditions are not applicable to the OT under consideration. The anesthetists fixed the problem by tying a plastic surgical drape between two IV stands as shown. The black arrows show the direction of the blast and the sail stopping the blast quite efficiently. The anesthetists could apply for the patent of this contraption, and stand to earn millions through its royalties. The architect may demand for a percentage of the fees, just as he gets 10% of all expenditure of the work done in the building.
