Apparatus And Method For Managing Heating Or Cooling Of An Area In A Building
First Claim
1. Apparatus for managing heating or cooling of an area in a building, comprising:
- a general processing unit adapted to communicate with the internet;
a peripheral controller adapted to collect temperature data to control heating or air conditioning of an area in a building;
a central controller which communicates with the general processing unit and the peripheral controller;
a motorized damper controlled by the central controller;
a self auditing system coupled to the central controller and the peripheral controller to audit remotely for trouble; and
a neural network engine coupled to the general processing unit to generate commands to the peripheral controller;
wherein the central controller utilizes the temperature difference between the area in the building and outside the building to save energy and provide comfort.

Abstract
Apparatus for managing heating or cooling of an area in a building which includes a general processing unit adapted to communicate with the internet, a peripheral controller adapted to collect temperature data to control the heating or air conditioning of an area in a building, a central controller which communicates with the general processing unit and the peripheral controller. A motorized damper is controlled by the central controller, and a self auditing system is coupled to the central controller and the peripheral controller to audit remotely for trouble. A neural network engine is coupled to the general processing unit to generate commands to the peripheral controller and the central controller utilizes the temperature difference between the area of space in the building and outside the building to save energy and provide comfort.
