1. A system for developing an HVAC system configuration for an HVAC system of a building, the system comprising:

  • a user interface configured to accept building information that at least partially defines an inner structure of at least part of the building, the building information including current HVAC system configuration information for the HVAC system of the building, the current HVAC system configuration information including a current location of one or more register vents within the building and a current location of two or more sensors each at a different location within the building;

    a processor operatively coupled to the user interface for determining one or more suggested HVAC system configuration changes for the building based, at least in part, on the building information accepted via the user interface as well as sensor data from each of two or more of the sensors, wherein at least one of the one or more suggested HVAC system configuration changes includes a suggested change to a particular register vent within the building;

    the user interface configured to display the suggested one or more HVAC system configuration changes to a user to allow the user to make the one or more suggested HVAC system configuration changes; and

    an HVAC controller operatively coupled to the HVAC system, the HVAC controller programmed to operate the HVAC system with the one or more HVAC system configuration changes.
