An air conditioning apparatus including a storage unit that stores therein a setting table in which a schedule of an air conditioning operation for one week is set, and a control unit that executes operation control according to the schedule in the setting table, the air conditioning apparatus including a remote controller that sets operation information of a target time slot as a part of one week, and a temporary storage unit that temporarily stores therein the set operation information of the target time slot, wherein the control unit executes operation control based on the operation information of the target time slot stored in the temporary storage unit in priority to the schedule in the setting table.

An HVAC controller is configured to automatically change between a HEAT mode and a COOL mode in accordance with a sensed temperature in the building structure, a HEAT temperature set point and a COOL temperature set point. The user is allowed to adjust the HEAT temperature set point and the COOL temperature set point, with the HVAC controller automatically adjusting one of the set points in response to the user making a change to the other of the other of the set points that violates a minimum deadband. If the user readjusts the user-adjusted set point in a way that no longer violates the minimum deadband, the HVAC controller will adjust the other set point back towards its previous setting.

A network of wireless remote climate sensors in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system permits the creation of personalized microclimates within an enclosed space. In addition to collecting temperature and humidity data, the wireless remote climate sensors can detect whether the enclosed space is occupied by a human. Human detection is made possible by optional cameras, microphones, and gas sensors on the wireless remote climate sensors. As the human moves throughout the enclosed space, the HVAC system is able to track the human's movement using the wireless remote climate sensors. The HVAC system may adjust airflow to different portions of the enclosed space based on the human's location. The result is an efficient use of system resources to keep users at their ideal temperature.

Devices, methods, and systems for determining the cause of a fault in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system are described herein. One device includes a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive operational data associated with an HVAC system, receive control logic associated with a controller of the HVAC system, determine a cause of a fault occurring in the HVAC system based, at least in part, on the operational data associated with the HVAC system and the control logic of the controller of the HVAC system, and provide the cause of the fault occurring in the HVAC system to a user.

An apparatus and method to selectively create a heat transfer effect and sensation of cooling within bedding on a mattress. A programmable application is accessible on a wireless network and is programmed to provide appropriate settings to attain changes over time of a space within bedding that pertain to at least one of heating the space and realizing a cooling sensation within the space. A wireless receiver is configured to receive commands in a wireless manner that are indicative of the appropriate settings provided by the programmable application to effect changes over time of the space within the bedding attributed to heat transfer with respect to the at least one of heating the space and realizing a cooling sensation within the space. The heat transfer occurs as a result of fluid flow either within a mattress or within space in bedding over the mattress.

An extended reanalysis ensemble service includes a loader services application program interface configured to receive data parameters for a set of automated multisource data provisioning operations, provide climate source data from one or more disparate climate data collections specified in the data parameters to conversion utilities for transforming the climate source data into flat, serialized block compressed sequence files, and load the sequence files to a distributed file system of the extended reanalysis ensemble service, and a reanalysis ensemble service application program interface configured to receive operational parameters for the set of automated multisource data provisioning operations, convert the operational parameters to one or more methods recognized by a service interface of the extended reanalysis ensemble service to be converted to analytical operations executed by the extended reanalysis ensemble service, and provide results of the one or more analytical operations executed by the extended reanalysis ensemble service to a client.
