SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THERMAL STORAGE IN A ZONING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A zoning system for climate control, comprising:
- a controller configured to;
operate the zoning system to supply conditioned air to a first zone of a plurality of zones through a first supply air damper to thermally charge the first zone;
close the first supply air damper of the first zone and open a second supply air damper of a second zone of the plurality of zones after the first zone is thermally charged; and
operate the zoning system to draw the conditioned air from the first zone and supply the conditioned air to the second zone through the second supply air damper.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a zoning system for climate control including a controller configured to operate the zoning system to supply conditioned air to a first zone of a plurality of zones through a first supply air damper to thermally charge the first zone. The controller is also configured to close the first supply air damper of the first zone and open a second supply air damper of a second zone of the plurality of zones after the first zone is thermally charged. The controller is further configured to operate the zoning system to draw the conditioned air from the first zone and supply the conditioned air to the second zone through the second supply air damper.

10. A zoning system for climate control, comprising:
a controller configured to; operate the zoning system while within a first designated time to supply conditioned air through a first supply air damper of a first zone of a plurality of zones to thermally charge the first zone; open a first return air damper of the first zone and open a second supply air damper of a second zone of the plurality of zones while within a second designated time subsequent to the first designated time; and operate the zoning system to draw the conditioned air through the first return air damper of the first zone and supply the conditioned air to the second zone through the second supply air damper. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
a zoning system configured to control the HVAC system to condition spaces within a building having a plurality of zones, wherein the zoning system has a controller configured to; open a first damper and a second damper of a first zone of the plurality of zones while within a first designated time period; operate the zoning system to supply conditioned air to the first zone through the first damper to thermally charge the first zone while within the first designated time period; open a third damper of a second zone of the plurality of zones while within a second designated time period and after the first designated time period; and operate the zoning system while within the second designated time period to draw the conditioned air from the first zone through the first damper or the second damper to thermally discharge the first zone and to supply the conditioned air to the second zone through the third damper to condition the second zone. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
