The air in the room can be sucked through the vents, as the air passes the temperature sensor it may read the temperature and compare that reading to the setting on a thermostat. The one or more sensors 112 can be utilized to automatically control the indoor ambient temperature during cooling.
[0033] Energy conservation and increase in performance of air-conditioning unit 102 can be achieved by pre-cooling the air intake of the outdoor unit106.The air accumulator108 can be coupled to the indoor unit 104 and outdoor unit 106 of the apparatus 100, the air accumulator108 can pre-cool the incoming air and increases the conditioner's efficiency. The operation can be optimized by gathering information from the sensors monitoring the ambient temperature of the enclosed premise.

[0035] For example, the air conditioning unit 102 starts functioning and subsequently, the hot air in the room removed using vents. Meanwhile, the air accumulator 108 can accumulate the air and pre-cools the air. Next, the air conditioning unit 102 can use the precooled air from the air accumulator 108 and can supply it to the room. The temperature sensor 112 can continuously monitor the room temperature. Upon detecting the optimum room temperature, the sensor 112 can prevent the outflow of the air. Thus, the apparatus can obtain maximum efficiency and can reduce energy consumption significantly.
[0036] The central air conditioner can supply air in the enclosed premise using air flow conduit 110 based on the one or more sensor 112.
