A system with at least one control unit and a bearing arrangement that includes at least one sensor unit for measuring a quantity. The system is configured to find out with the help of the at least one sensor unit first values of the quantity in a first time span for a first set of instants of time. The system is further configured to infer second values of the quantity for a second set of instants of time from third values measured via the at least one sensor unit in a second time span. The first set of instants of time is different from the second set of instants of time.

Environmental characteristics of habitable environments (e.g., hotel or motel rooms, spas, resorts, cruise boat cabins, offices, hospitals and/or homes, apartments or residences) are controlled to eliminate, reduce or ameliorate adverse or harmful aspects and introduce, increase or enhance beneficial aspects in order to improve a wellness or sense of wellbeing provided via the environments. Control of intensity and wavelength distribution of passive and active Illumination addresses various issues, symptoms or syndromes, for instance to maintain a circadian rhythm or cycle, adjust for jet lag or season affective disorder, etc. . Air quality and attributes are controlled. Scent(s) may be dispersed. Noise is reduced and sounds (e.g., masking, music, natural) may be provided. Environmental and biometric feedback is provided. Experimentation and machine learning are used to improve health outcomes and wellness standards.
