Non-inertial thermostat and non-inertial thermostat/humidistat for building climate and energy consumption control
First Claim
1. A building climate control for space heating and/or space cooling system having an individual or central heating/humidification and/or cooling sources, the said building having single room or a plurality of rooms serviced from the said individual or central heating/humidification and/or cooling sources, means to automatically change units heating/humidification and/or cooling capacity, the said rooms of the building having at least one non-inertial stationary thermostat or non-inertial mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary thermostat/humidistat or non-inertial mobile thermostat/humidistat to control climate such as air temperature and air humidity to provide adequate heating and/or cooling to the rooms;
- the said non-inertial stationary thermostat or non-inertial mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary thermostat/humidistat or non-inertial mobile thermostat/humidistat located at any place in the building, the said non-inertial stationary thermostat or non-inertial mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary thermostat/humidistat or non-inertial mobile thermostat/humidistat having authority to control air temperature/humidity in any room in the building, means provided so that only one thermostat or thermostat/humidistat controls the air temperature at the particular room at any particular time, the said non-inertial stationary thermostat or non-inertial mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary thermostat/humidistat or non-inertial mobile thermostat/humidistat having means responsive to the current room air temperature/humidity values at the location of the non-inertial stationary thermostat or non-inertial mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary thermostat/humidistat or non-inertial mobile thermostat/humidistat, the said non-inertial stationary thermostat or non-inertial mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary thermostat/humidistat or non-inertial mobile thermostat/humidistat having temperature or temperature/humidity set points means, such that when the air temperature/humidity in the room at the non-inertial stationary thermostat or non-inertial mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary thermostat/humidistat or non-inertial mobile thermostat/humidistat location deviates from the said non-inertial stationary thermostat or non-inertial mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary thermostat/humidistat or non-inertial mobile thermostat/humidistat temperature/humidity set points the said non-inertial stationary thermostat or non-inertial mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary thermostat/humidistat or non-inertial mobile thermostat/humidistat generates multiple signals, the said signals are sent to the receiver/controller, the said receiver/controller having means to receive signals from the said non-inertial stationary or mobile thermostats or non-inertial stationary or mobile thermostats/humidistats and to send control signals to building central heating/humidifying and/or cooling system or to room heating/humidifying and/or cooling system, the said control signals are in proportion to the difference between the non-inertial stationary or mobile thermostat'"'"'s temperature or non-inertial stationary or mobile temperature/humidity set points and the air temperature/humidity in the room at thermostat or thermostat/humidistat location, the said signals are sent to change the system'"'"'s heating and/or cooling output capacity and the discharge air humidity to satisfy the non-inertial stationary or mobile thermostat or non-inertial stationary or mobile thermostat/humidistat air temperature/humidity set point requirements.

Abstract
The present invention is related to a wide variety of thermostats and thermostats/humidistats for air temperature and relative humidity control in buildings having heating, cooling and humidification systems. We suggest using a forced air device to take a representative air sample near the building occupant'"'"'s location in order to enhance indoor climate control and improve its accuracy. When this forced air device is used, the existing standard thermostat or standard thermostat/humidistat becomes a non-inertial thermostat or thermostat/humidistat. We also suggest to equip non-inertial programmable thermostat or thermostat/humidistat as well as standard programmable thermostat or thermostat/humidistat with an advisory computing system. This system will provide the occupant with a guiding tool and enable him to make an informative decision about set points selection in relation to the projected energy savings or energy over-consumption at particular mode of operation, as compared to the base set points. The invention is applicable for stationary as well as mobile thermostat or thermostat/humidistat.
