An HVAC system for a vehicle including a battery casing having a battery disposed therein, an air conditioning device in fluid communication with a passenger compartment of the vehicle, and an air distribution system including an outflow channel and a return channel. The outflow channel fluidly connects the battery casing with an ambience of the vehicle and the return channel fluidly connects the battery casing with the passenger compartment. The air conditioning device includes an ambient air channel for receiving an air mass flow from the vehicle ambience, a recirculating air channel for receiving an air mass flow from the passenger compartment, and a battery cooling channel to fluidly connect the air conditioning device and the battery casing. The conditioned air mass flow from the air conditioning device is directed into the passenger compartment and/or the battery casing to maintain a desired temperature of the passenger compartment and/or the battery.
