Abstract: A ventilated seat including a seatback; a seat ventilation system engaging the seatback and including a blower and a duct to direct airflow from the blower; a pair of vertically extending headrest support posts, with at least one of the headrest support posts being hollow, having a first end located within the seatback and operatively engaging the duct to receive the airflow from the blower, and a vent hole extending from the hollow interior to a front surface, the vent hole located in the vertically extending portion of the headrest support post and directing the airflow forward onto a neck or head of a seat occupant; and a headrest mounted on and supported by the pair of headrest support posts, with the headrest adjustable up and down relative to the seatback. The seat ventilation system may include arm, calf or face ventilation openings.

Abstract: A seat includes comprising: a seat bottom and a seat back operatively engaging the seat bottom. At, least one of the seat back and the seat bottom has an air impermeable outer trim layer covering at least a portion of an outer surface. The air impermeable outer trim layer includes perforations extending therethrough. The, size, spacing, or both of the perforations varies based at least in part on a body pressure map, and the perforations are configured to allow airflow therethrough directed toward an occupant of the seat.

Abstract: An example seat climate system includes a seat, a first ventilation device, a second ventilation device, and a ventilation device controller. The seat has a first ventilation layer and a second ventilation layer. The first ventilation device is connected to the first ventilation layer and has an off state and an on state. The first ventilation device moves air through the first ventilation layer when in the on state. The second ventilation device is connected to the second ventilation layer and has an off state and an on state. The second ventilation device moves air through the second ventilation layer when in the on state. The ventilation device controller is connected to the first ventilation device and the second ventilation device and includes a controller and driver.

Abstract: A method of controlling a seat cooling cycle in a vehicle seat includes determining whether a vehicle cooling system is operating. If the vehicle cooling system is operating, then executing a seat cooling cycle such that portions of an occupant-facing surface of the vehicle seat are urged outwardly to create high contact zones between the occupant and the portions of the vehicle seat that have been urged outwardly, and such that areas of reduced occupant contact are defined between adjacent ones of the portions of the occupant-facing surface that are urged outwardly, wherein the areas of reduced occupant contact define low pressure zones that facilitate the flow of air between the vehicle seat and the occupant within the low pressure zones.

Abstract: A climate control system for a vehicle includes an infrared sensor disposed within a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The infrared sensor is configured to receive infrared radiation from a skin surface of a vehicle occupant. The climate control system further includes a controller configured to receive a signal indicative of a detected temperature detected at the skin surface. In response to the detected temperature deviating from a baseline temperature, the controller is configured to automatically control an HVAC system to add conditioned air into the passenger compartment and to control a thermoelectric device configured to adjust a seat surface temperature.
