Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure enable an HVAC system comprising an adaptive air distribution system, and methods for distributed and adaptive control of an occupant comfort parameter in a localized, distributed space, within a multizone environment. The system comprises an HVAC system controller, sensors, and actuators for the control and distribution of a primary airflow of an HVAC system into a specific zone of a residential or housing unit. The various system elements are configured to adapt operation under a variable sensible or latent internal load gain or change to achieve a desired occupant comfort parameter target set point or occupant ambient target for a distributed zone within a multizone environment. The occupant comfort parameter target set point is configurable through a task ambient management system residing within an application cloud server operably engaged with an application database, the application cloud server being communicably connected to the HVAC system controller.

Abstract: A self-contained, integrated, modular HVAC system includes a plurality of adaptive or interchangeable components or swappable modules interconnected to enable the modulation of total airflow and total cooling capacity (sensible plus latent) to meet variable loads and adjust a sensible heat ratio (SHR) to meet a variable latent ratio of a conditioned space. The components comprise one or more air inlet, damper, inlet damper, air filtration module, air purification module, air freshener module, dehumidifying module, cooling module, air bypass module, blower module, air outlet, I/O panel, and a control cabinet. The components have sensors and actuators that allows a programmable control system to coordinate diagnostics and operations of internal and external components of a refrigeration/heating cycle using various feedback control logics. The HVAC system allows users to remotely determine a chosen relative humidity (RH) set-point, airflow, and temperature of a conditioned space using wireless data communication devices.

Abstract: An HVAC renewable energy management system and components to enable the efficient use of locally produced power from an onsite nanogrid and interconnected nanogrids of a cohesive direct current microgrid network. The system comprises a central controller for controlling one or more intermittent distributed energy resource (DER), source converter, distributed storage device, energy storage converter, power bus, internal load, and interface gateway to one or more external grid for bi-directional power control, sharing, and consumption. System hardware and software elements are configured for internetworking communication, management, control, demand side management, and power balance, using maximum power point tracking to shift power consumption, dynamic matching of local DER production, power quality assurance, system protection, power interconnection management, interface management, metering, revenue settlement, system optimization, and security. The system can match local power production with an individual household's power consumption to reduce intermittency and ultimately total microgrid consumption.
