PRIORITY CONDITIONING IN A MULTI-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for selectively controlling a climate of a first zone of a building having multiple zones, the method comprising:
- determining that a climate control condition satisfies a first priority condition associated with the first zone, the first priority condition associated with the first zone based at least in part on an assigning of a first priority to the first zone; and
determining a climate conditioning to provide to the first zone where the climate control condition of the first zone satisfies the first priority condition associated with the first zone, the determined climate conditioning based at least in part on the assigned first priority of the zone.

Abstract
A method and mechanism for performing a prioritized determining of a climate conditioning to be provided to a zone in a multiple zone structure. In one embodiment of the invention, the determining of a climate conditioning to be provided to a zone is to be a prioritized determining, where a climate control condition is determined to satisfy a priority condition of the first zone. In another embodiment, the first priority condition associated with the first zone is based at least in part on an assigning of a first priority to the first zone.

8. A machine readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
-
determining that a climate control condition satisfies a first priority condition associated with the first zone, the first priority condition associated with the first zone based at least in part on an assigning of a first priority to the first zone; and determining a climate conditioning to provide to the first zone where the climate control condition of the first zone satisfies the first priority condition associated with the first zone, the determined climate conditioning based at least in part on the assigned first priority of the zone. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system to selectively control a climate of a first zone of a building having multiple zones, the system comprising:
-
receiving means for receiving one of a climate control condition and a first priority condition associated with the first zone, the first priority condition associated with the first zone based at least in part on an assigning of a first priority to the first zone; a memory to store the other of the climate control condition and the first priority condition associated with the first zone; processing means coupled to the receiving means and the memory, the processing means for determining that the climate control condition satisfies the first priority condition associated with the first zone, the processing means further for determining a climate conditioning to provide to the first zone where the climate control condition of the first zone satisfies the first priority condition associated with the first zone, the determined climate conditioning based at least in part on the assigned first priority of the zone. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
