Abstract: An indoor air quality (IAQ) system for a building includes an IAQ sensor that is located within the building and that is configured to measure an IAQ parameter. The IAQ parameter is one of: an amount of particulate of at least a predetermined size present in air; an amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in air; and an amount of carbon dioxide present in air. A mitigation module is configured to: selectively turn on a mitigation device based on a comparison of the IAQ parameter with a first ON threshold and a second ON threshold; and selectively turn off the mitigation device based on a comparison of the IAQ parameter with an OFF threshold. A clean module is configured to determine a clean value for the IAQ parameter. A thresholds module is configured to, based on the clean value, determine the first ON threshold and the OFF threshold.

Abstract: An indoor air quality (IAO) system comprises a temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of air within a building, a relative humidity (RH) sensor is configured to measure a RH of the air within the building and at least one of a thermostat and an IAO control module is configured to, during cooling of the air within the building, based on the RH, control operation of: a blower of an air handler unit of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of the building; and a compressor of a condenser unit of the HVAC system of the building. The at least one of the thermostat and the IAO control module is configured to, while the compressor is off: operate the blower at a first predetermined speed when the RH is less than a first predetermined RH but greater than a second predetermined RH; and operate the blower at a second predetermined speed that is greater than the first predetermined speed when the RH is less than the second predetermined RH.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control system generates a request to replace a first air filter installed in an air handler of an HVAC system with a second air filter. The second air filter has a particulate matter removal efficiency rating that is greater than a particulate matter removal efficiency rating of the first filter. The system delays for a predetermined period of time and then obtains (i) a first temperature of air downstream of the air handler and (ii) a second temperature of air upstream of the air handler. The system then calculates a temperature difference between the f temperatures and determines whether the temperature difference is within an acceptable range. In response to the temperature difference being within the acceptable range, the system (i) operates the HVAC system using the second air filter and (ii) generates an alert indicating compatibility of the second air filter.

Abstract: A control system for a mitigation device includes a processor and a computer-readable medium that includes instructions executable by the processor. The instructions include monitoring a first measured particulate matter (PM) level of a conditioned space. The first measured PM level includes PM having a first range of sizes. The instructions further include monitoring a second measured PM level of the conditioned space. The second measured PM level includes PM having a second range of sizes. The first and second ranges are different but overlapping. The instructions also include asserting, in response to the first measured PM level being greater than a first predetermined threshold, an activation signal. The activation signal forces operation of a fan of the mitigation device. The instructions include asserting, in response to the second measured PM level being greater than a predetermined percentage of the first measured PM level, the activation signal.

Abstract: A system for detecting and mitigating a refrigerant leak includes a temperature control device configured to transmit control signals to a component controller and a blower configured to circulate air. The system includes a leak mitigation controller electrically coupled to the temperature control device and the component controller. The leak mitigation controller directs incoming power to the temperature control device. The leak mitigation controller includes a sensor configured to measure a refrigerant concentration and a relay configured to selectively: (i) connect the temperature control device to the incoming power or (ii) connect the blower to the incoming power. The leak mitigation controller is configured to measure the refrigerant concentration with the sensor and, in response to the measured refrigerant concentration exceeding a threshold, actuate the relay to connect the blower to the incoming power.

Abstract: First and second IAQ sensors are located within a building and are configured to measure first and second IAQ parameters, respectively, the first and second IAQ parameter being the same one of: relative humidity; amount of particulate; amount of volatile organic compounds; and amount of carbon dioxide. A mitigation device is separate from an HVAC system and includes a control module configured to turn the mitigation device on and off based on the first IAQ parameter, the second IAQ parameter, and whether the HVAC system is on or off. A mitigation module is configured to selectively turn the HVAC system on and off based on the second IAQ parameter, the first IAQ parameter, and whether the HVAC system is on or off.
