The technology at the heart of Inipi's complex functions is completely hidden from the users' view. All heating equipment is concealed behind an edging board in the extension of the sidewall,
so that the controls, heater, fan and evaporator are always accessible, but never in plain sight. Incidentally, in the language of the Native American Lakota people, Inipi means "to live again" or "sweat lodge" and describes an ancient ceremony for purifying the body and mind.
