climate control

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. "Refrigeration" is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR, or "ventilation" is dropped, as in HACR (as in the designation of HACR-rated circuit breakers).
HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as single family homes, apartment buildings, hotels, and senior living facilities; medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and hospitals; vehicles such as cars, trains, airplanes, ships and submarines; and in marine environments, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors.
Ventilating or ventilation (the "V" in HVAC) is the process of exchanging or replacing air in any space to provide high indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases. Ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, introduces outside air, keeps interior building air circulating, and prevents stagnation of the interior air. Methods for ventilating a building are divided into mechanical/forced and natural types.

    To AC or not to AC…

    Just got a ZS EV and loving it. However, coming from a fossil car and my “only use AC when the outside temperature is above 24 degrees, to save fuel” mentality, does the same apply to EVs? Is it more efficient, conversely, to just set the climate control to a temperature and leave it in auto...

    MG4 Trophy Temperature sensors and climate control problems

    Just taken delivery of a MG4 Trophy. Delighted with the way it drives and getting used to being an EV owner. However I'm struggling to get the auto climate control set properly. I noticed the MG iSMART app reports internal and external temperatures which I assume are used by the climate control...

    Climate control

    Hi, I am new to the EV world and I'm trying to decide which model of MG4 to go for. I live in Lyon, France, where the summers are blisteringly hot and the winters can be very cold. The Trophy model (called Luxury in France) is the only model with a heat pump. How important is a heat pump and...

    Video doing the rounds to update climate control

    Hi all, I wondered if you had seen the video on how to update your ir conditioning control to a climate control reading so you can set an actual temperature. I attach it if I can I wondered if anyone had tried it and how they went on I’m very tempted but scared of messing up something and...

    Climate Control - AC always on?

    Hi All. I have a question about the A/C button / light on the "Automatic Temperature Control" system Simply - the question is - is it normal for A/C to always be on when the system is set to AUTO? and for the longer explanation... This may be 'fluid terminology' or a loss in translation in the...

    climate control

    Is er iemand die weet hoe de stand van temperatuur en uitstroomopeningen langer in beeld kan blijven? Het is erg irritant dat je alles steeds handmatig moet bijstellen (ik mis de climate control van mijn vorige auto's) maar om te zien hoe de instellingen zijn moet je bovendien elke keer een...
