Abstract
Methods and system for controlling conditions within an enclosure housing a vehicle propulsion energy source are described. In one example, vehicle windows, vents, and shades may be operated to reduce an amount of energy used to maintain conditions within an enclosure housing a vehicle propulsion source. The systems and methods may be at least incorporated into electric and hybrid vehicles.
