A method and apparatus of adaptive climate control in a vehicle heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) system includes setting an initial climate condition for one or more zones in a vehicle passenger compartment based upon an occupant of the one or more zones. One or more inputs are monitored, and the climate conditions are changed for at least one of the one or more zones based upon the received one or more inputs. Data relating to the applied changed climate conditions for that occupant is stored.
