Abstract:
The present disclosure includes techniques that enable a conditioned air system to automatically restore functionality and/or to operate at reduced functionality when a fault is detected, for example, to facilitate reducing likelihood that continuing operation with the fault present will decrease lifespan of the conditioned air system. To facilitate improving operation of the conditioned air system when a fault is present, the control system of the conditioned air system may utilize substitute sensor data and/or adjust its control algorithm. In this manner, the control system may facilitate improving operational reliability and/or availability of the conditioned air system, for example, by adaptively adjusting its operation to enable the conditioned air system to continue operating even when a fault is present, while reducing likelihood that the continued operation will reduce lifespan of the conditioned air system.

Claim (Index 19):
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising instructions executable by a processor of a control board that restore functionality to conditioned air equipment when the conditioned air equipment experiences a fault, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:\n receive an indication that a first zone thermostat of a plurality of zone thermostats of the conditioned air equipment is faulty, wherein the first zone thermostat is configured to control air flow in a first zone of a building and provide first zone thermostat information to the processor; and in response to receiving the indication that the first zone thermostat is faulty:\n determine a second zone thermostat of the plurality of zone thermostats to substitute for the first zone thermostat, wherein the second zone thermostat is configured to control air flow in a second zone of the building; and \n operate the conditioned air equipment using second zone thermostat information provided by the second zone thermostat instead of the first zone thermostat information.
