Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a sensor configured to detect an operating parameter of the HVAC system, a processor, and a memory having instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor, during a normal operation mode of the HVAC system, to iteratively receive feedback from the sensor indicative of a value of the operating parameter, compare the value with reference data, and determine a refrigerant charge level of the HVAC system based on the value and the reference data.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and methods for determining dimensions, shapes, and locations of rooms of a building using a mobile device for controlling heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) provided to the rooms and building. A measuring device receives a shape of a room in the building and determines a dimension set of the room based on the shape of the room. The measuring device transmits the shape of the room and the dimension set to a mobile device that determines a layout of the building based on the shapes and the dimension sets corresponding to the rooms of the building. In this manner, the systems and methods provide the layout of the building more efficiently, resulting in an improved HVAC system installation and operation process.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes techniques that enable a conditioned air system to automatically restore functionality and/or to operate at reduced functionality when a fault is detected, for example, to facilitate reducing likelihood that continuing operation with the fault present will decrease lifespan of the conditioned air system. To facilitate improving operation of the conditioned air system when a fault is present, the control system of the conditioned air system may utilize substitute sensor data and/or adjust its control algorithm. In this manner, the control system may facilitate improving operational reliability and/or availability of the conditioned air system, for example, by adaptively adjusting its operation to enable the conditioned air system to continue operating even when a fault is present, while reducing likelihood that the continued operation will reduce lifespan of the conditioned air system.

Abstract: A bracket system includes a first bracket configured to couple a heat exchanger coil to a base of a heat exchanger via engagement of a mounting surface of the base, where the first bracket has a recessed member and a fastening tab, and a second bracket configured to couple the heat exchanger coil to a shroud of the heat exchanger via engagement of a fastener, where the second bracket has a protruding member and a protruding ridge. The recessed member is configured to receive the protruding member such that the first bracket and the second bracket are coupled to one another in a first configuration of the bracket system, and where the fastening tab is configured to receive the protruding ridge such that the first bracket and the second bracket are coupled to one another in a second configuration of the bracket system.

Abstract: The present disclosure presents techniques for improving operational efficiency of climate control systems. A climate control system may include climate control equipment, a sensor that measures temperature in a building, and a control system that controls operation of the equipment using a first temperature schedule, which associates each time step with a temperature setpoint, when the building is occupied. When not occupied, the control system determines an expected return time based on historical occupancy data associated with the building, determines the temperature setpoint associated with the expected return time, determines candidate schedules each expected to result in the inside air temperature meeting the temperature setpoint, determines efficiency metrics each associated with one of the candidates based on historical performance data resulting from previous operation of the climate control system, and controls operation of the equipment based on a second temperature schedule selected from the candidates based on associated efficiency metrics.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system including a thermal light detector configured to detect a heat indication within a conditioned space. The HVAC system further includes a controller configured to receive feedback indicative of the heat indication from the thermal light detector and, based on the feedback, correlate the heat indication with a categorized event of a plurality of categorized events. The controller is further configured to adjust operation of the HVAC system based on the categorized event.
