I was a field service tech for most of my working career. While visiting Constellation Brands’ new corporate headquarters just outside of Canandaigua, NY I noticed above the receptionists’ desk was a huge sunroof. Hanging just below it was a kind of inverted sundial. The idea was that the shade would shadow the receptionist to keep her cool. Only thing was that the sun moves throughout the day.
She baked.
