1. A method of minimizing air flow disturbances in a multi-zone air conditioning system, comprising the steps of:

  • setting an air flow rate for conditioned air supplied to a climate controlled zone to maintain a zone temperature at a zone setpoint;

    measuring deviation from the zone setpoint at first and second sampling instants within a sampling period;

    estimating a zone heat transfer rate at the second sampling instant based on the setpoint deviation; and

    adjusting the air flow rate in response to the step of estimating a zone heat transfer rate to minimize zone air flow disturbances.
