A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240035699A1) describes a system for managing indoor climates that includes multiple zones within a room. Each zone is equipped with variable dampers controlled by temperature sensors to regulate the flow of air through air duct outlets. Remote sensors in each zone measure the temperature, which is then used by a control unit wirelessly connected to the dampers and sensors. The control unit stores current climate settings, including desired temperatures for each zone and HVAC modes for different users. A processor in the control unit receives temperature measurements, retrieves current settings, determines average temperatures for each zone, compares actual temperatures with averages, and instructs the dampers to adjust airflow accordingly.
Furthermore, the patent also outlines a method for managing indoor climates using remote sensors, variable dampers, and a control unit to maintain desired temperatures in different zones of a room. The method involves measuring temperatures in each zone, retrieving desired climate settings, determining average temperatures, comparing actual temperatures with averages, and adjusting airflow through the dampers based on the differences. The method also includes specific instructions for adjusting airflow in heating and cooling modes based on temperature differentials in each zone. Additionally, a controller is described in the patent that includes memory for storing settings, a screen for display and user input, and a processor for receiving and analyzing temperature measurements to maintain optimal indoor climates in different zones of a room.
