But histor has been. a record of mian's' conquest of, natural environ- mient. As, animal skins were made into clothing, crude shelters were, constructcd and fire was discovered, mai found hie could survive in re- gions with severe climate variations. The refinements, in these three funda- mental methods of providing. pro- tection against winter's attack, have, up to'the beginning of the twentieth century, included better building con- struction, better clothing and the de- velopment of facilities to first bringý fire into the house in fireplaces, then i base burners andl inally ini cen- tral heating plants. Ail of these steps of progress have primarily been pro- tective measures and littie was known about the real requirements for ideal comfort.
