Specification

[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to field of thermal comfort device. More particularly, the present disclosure provides a system for controlling heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) device associated with a space.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] In large gatherings like auditoriums, seminar halls, cinema halls and conference rooms, most of time audience is not comfortable with cooling of heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC system). Some of the audience in one portion of room feels cold while others feel hot. Audience don`t alter preset temperature of HVAC system or if they change, they have to change the preset temperature manually or ask somebody else to assist. This results in wastage of electrical energy as the HVAC systems tend to run for longer time even when the audience are feeling cold or hot
[0004] Other solutions can include wireless control of HVAC system or switching off partial HVAC system which creates comfort for one type of audience in room but creating discomfort for other audience. The wireless control of HVAC does not take into account the comfort level of all the audience in the room. These types of solutions does not offer control of all the HVAC units and thus unable to control all HVAC units under one controller. A solution that controls the HVAC units automatically according to optimum temperature requirement for the audience is required.
[0005] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problems of prior art by bringing a solution that facilitates controlling the HVAC units under one controller and enables maintaining optimum temperature range in a room according to requirement of user. Also, the solution helps in saving electric power and cut cost of electrical energy resource.

[0071] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[0072] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, ` components, or steps that are not expressly referenced.
[0073] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
