Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an HVAC data processing and communication network, comprising: causing a blower and at least one other HVAC component to be coupled to one or more controllers via a data bus; associating said blower with a local controller via said data bus; configuring a duct to direct air flow from said blower; configuring said blower to receive a control message via said data bus from said local controller to provide an air flow to said duct at an initial volume rate; configuring said local controller to determine a power rate at which said air flow is provided; and configuring said local controller to increase said air flow volume rate in increments and determine a power rate increase necessary to provide said air flow volume rate increases until said local controller determines an increase in said air flow volume rate is not proportional to said power rate increase.
