MANIPULATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN AN INFRASTRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A method for manipulating environmental conditions in an infrastructure containing one or more adaptive vent tiles, said method comprising:
- in a computing device, identifying correlations between opening levels of the one or more adaptive vent tiles and an environmental condition at one or more heat dissipating devices;
receiving one or more environmental conditions at locations proximate to or within the one or more heat dissipating devices;
identifying errors between the received one or more environmental conditions and one or more reference environmental conditions; and
determining opening levels for the one or more adaptive vent tiles based upon the identified correlations and errors.

Abstract
In a method for manipulating environmental conditions in an infrastructure containing one or more adaptive vent tiles, correlations between opening levels of the one or more adaptive vent tiles and an environmental condition at one or more heat dissipating devices are identified. In addition, one or more environmental conditions at locations proximate to or within the one or more heat dissipating devices are received and errors between the received one or more environmental conditions and one or more reference environmental conditions are identified. Moreover, opening levels for the one or more adaptive vent tiles are determined based upon the identified correlations and errors.

12. A controller for manipulating environmental conditions in an infrastructure containing one or more adaptive vent tiles, said controller comprising:
-
a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) controller module configured to receive a model that identifies correlations between the opening levels of the one or more adaptive vent is tiles and an environmental condition at or in one or more heat dissipating devices, to receive a plurality of environmental conditions at locations proximate to or within the one or more heat dissipating devices, and to determine opening levels for the one or more adaptive vent tiles based upon the model and errors between the collected environmental condition information and one or more reference environmental conditions; and an output module configured to output the determined opening levels for the one or more adaptive vent tiles. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
