SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING THE EFFICIENCY OF HVAC SYSTEMS

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure disclose systems and methods for controlling the operation and shut down of a plurality of HVAC units in a facility to improve efficiency. More particularly, a target number of inefficient HVAC units may be identified and systematically shut down while monitoring the environmental conditions in the facility to determine if additional HVAC units may be shut down or alternately should be restarted automatically.

主权项

1. A system for controlling the operation of one or more heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units comprising:
a database comprising HVAC unit data and environmental condition threshold data; and a processor to communicate with one or more sensors, the database, and a plurality of HVAC units, the one or more sensors to measure at least one environmental condition and generate environmental condition data, the processor to:
obtain a target number of the one or more HVAC units to be shut down;obtain environmental condition data from the one or more sensors;identify an inefficient HVAC unit of the plurality HVAC units;generate a shutdown signal to shut down the inefficient HVAC unit;obtain the environmental condition data from the one or more sensors after the shutdown of the inefficient HVAC unit; anddetermine if the shutdown of the inefficient unit has an adverse impact on the environmental condition data.
