TIME OF DAY ZONING CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A time of day zoning control system for a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system is provided. The system utilizes a programmable thermost at and a number of temperature sensors to control the HVAC system to regulate t he temperature in a particular location within a dwelling or structure based on consumer preferences. The regulation control will utilize a temperature sens ed by a particular temperature sensor at different times throughout the day to control the temperature in that zone to ensure occupant comfort. A single temperature sensor may be selected to control the HVAC system during these different periods, or multiple sensors may be utilized during the same perio d. When multiple sensors are used, a weighting factor may be used.
