A cooling and ventilation outlet is described, including a shell configured to connect to an HVAC duct and an inner body that may be securely attached within the shell such that air from the HVAC duct passes through the inner body. The inner body may include: a directable air output nozzle, a first actuator configured to control a direction of the nozzle, an adjustable damper, a second actuator configured to control airflow through the inner body by actuating the adjustable damper, an indicator that may include at least one controllable visual element, a pressure sensor configured for use in determining airflow through the inner body, and circuitry including a network interface. The circuitry is configured to accept commands over a network, to accept readings from the pressure sensor, and to control the first actuator, the second actuator, and the indicator.
