Air conditioning system
First Claim
1. An air conditioning system comprisingan air conditioner for cooling air within an area, an air conditioner controller for defining information from input data concerning the temperature and/or relative humidity of the air within the area being cooled by the air conditioner including a first register having a count to be incremented by time times Delta T where Delta T is the positive difference between average dry bulb temperature and wet bulb temperature and the time is the time between temperature readings, and transmitting means for periodically transmitting the content of said first register, a return air monitor for defining data concerning the temperature and relative humidity of the air within the area being cooled by the air conditioner and inputting the data into the air conditioner controller, a remote host device for receiving, retaining and presenting transmitted information or information derived therefrom.

Abstract
An air conditioning system cools air within an area. An air conditioner controller defines information based on input data from door and window open status sensors and a return air monitor sensing the dry bulb temperature and the wet bulb temperature or relative humidity of the air within the area being cooled by the air conditioning system and shuts down the system when specific conditions exist. The defined information is transmitted to a remote host device which retains and presents the transmitted information or information derived therefrom.

9. An air conditioning system comprising
an air conditioner for cooling air within an area, said air conditioner having shut off means operated upon the receipt of an alarm signal for turning off the air conditioner, an air conditioner controller for defining information from input data concerning the open status of a door and or window(s) and for supplying an alarm signal to said shut off means when a door/window is open, said air conditioner controller including a shut-down event register which will be incremented each time a door/window is opened and transmitting means for periodically transmitting the content of said shut-down register, and a remote host device for receiving, retaining and presenting transmitted information or information derived therefrom.
