Air control system for a building

Abstract

An air control system to control a flow of warm air and/or cold air within a building, the air control system including a furnace to provide the warm air to rooms within the building, an air conditioning unit to provide the cold air to the rooms within the building, a plurality of thermostats/sensors disposed in the rooms within the building to sense temperatures in each of the rooms, and to allow a user to manually change the temperatures in each of the rooms, a plurality of mechanical vents disposed in each of the rooms to open and close based on the sensed temperatures in each of the rooms, and a computer to control the furnace and the air conditioning unit to turn on and/or off based on temperature settings set by the user in each of the rooms, and to control the plurality of mechanical vents to open and close.

1 . An air control system to control a flow of warm air and/or cold air within a building, the air control system comprising:
 a furnace to provide the warm air to rooms within the building;   an air conditioning unit to provide the cold air to the rooms within the building;   a plurality of thermostats/sensors disposed in the rooms within the building to sense temperatures in each of the rooms, and to allow a user to manually change the temperatures in each of the rooms;   a plurality of mechanical vents disposed in each of the rooms to open and close based on the sensed temperatures in each of the rooms; and   a computer to control the furnace and the air conditioning unit to turn on and/or off based on temperature settings set by the user in each of the rooms, and to control the plurality of mechanical vents to open and close.   
     
     
         2 . The air control system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of mechanical vents are air-tight. 
     
     
         3 . The air control system of  claim 1 , wherein the furnace provides the warm air to the rooms and the air conditioning unit provides the cold air to the rooms via a duct system disposed throughout the building and connected to the plurality of mechanical vents. 
     
     
         4 . The air control system of  claim 1 , wherein the computer controls the furnace and the air conditioning unit to turn on and/or off with respect to temperature settings set by the user at the plurality of thermostats/sensors in each of the rooms and based on the temperatures sensed in each of the rooms.
