Claim 19:
20. A method of providing a variable air volume system to provide an air temperature control for each air-conditioned zone in a plurality of air conditioned zones comprising:
(a) utilizing a multiple outlet variable air volume box having at least one heater as a component within or in at least one outlet of the variable air volume box associated with at least one terminal outlet of the multiple outlet variable air volume box;
(b) having the at least one terminal outlet in the variable air volume box connected to the at least one heater in the variable air volume box or on the at least one terminal outlet of the variable air volume box to supply conditioned air to a plurality of separate air-conditioned zones;
(c) attaching a plurality of automated space control dampers having an electrically controlled orifice or a damper at a remote location from the variable air volume box for admitting conditioned air into each of the plurality of separate air-conditioned zones to a common supply duct and the at least one terminal outlet in the variable volume air box and wherein any damper control has been removed from the variable air volume box; and
(d) providing a virtual or an actual thermostat to each zone of said plurality of separate air-conditioned zones to open or close the electrically controlled orifice for admitting conditioned air into a specific zone.
