Abstract:
An HVAC controller configured to control a VAV box including a damper may include a temperature sensor that is configured to sense a temperature proximate the HVAC controller and a touch screen user interface that is configured to display the sensed temperature and to enable a user to input a temperature set point. A controller may be operatively coupled to the touch screen user interface and the temperature sensor and may be configured to regulate operation of the VAV box in accordance with the sensed temperature and the temperature set point. The HVAC controller may be programmed with a test and balance procedure that is user-accessible via the touch screen user interface.

Claim (Index 1):
An HVAC controller configured to control a VAV box that includes a damper that has two or more damper positions to provide variable amounts of conditioned air to one or more downstream air vents of a building, the HVAC controller comprising:\n a housing; a temperature sensor housed by the housing and configured to sense a temperature proximate the HVAC controller; a user interface including a display housed by the housing, the user interface configured to display the sensed temperature and to enable a user to input a temperature set point; a controller housed by the housing and operatively coupled to the user interface and the temperature sensor, the controller is configured to regulate operation of the VAV box in accordance with the sensed temperature and the temperature set point; and wherein the controller is further programmed with a balance mode that is manually initiated via the user interface, wherein in the balance mode, the controller is configured to drive the damper of the VAV box to each of two or more damper positions and compare a measured air flow through the VAV box at each of the two or more damper positions to a corresponding desired air flow value.
