Abstract:
An air distribution apparatus that serves as a single sensing device for both lighting, LiFi, and HVAC functions that are operable on a single platform by building automation systems. The building automation system may be controllable by a single software system or network accessible locally on site or remotely off site. The air distribution apparatus can operate in a single zone or coupled with multiple like apparatuses for multi-zone operation. It is a high turndown, self-balancing system which allows for continuous commissioning with built-in fault diagnostic systems and that may be used as a supply, return, or exhaust system, or a combination thereof. The air distribution apparatus includes multi-stage airflow control systems that operate progressively based on unique actuation mechanisms and/or algorithms that allow for precise flow control and feedback to self-balance and commission the system.

Claim (Index 33):
The apparatus as recited in claim  11 , wherein the controller comprises a processor and a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the processor and having stored therein processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine at least one of the following:\n 1) a pressure differential sensed along the fluid flow path and across the blades of the low flow blade set, and the blades of the high flow blade set; 2) a variable opening area traversing the fluid flow path based on the angular orientations of the of the blades of the low flow blade set and the blades of the high flow blade set; 3) a flow coefficient C F  based on the variable opening area of the blades of the low flow blade set and the blades of the high flow blade set; and 4) a flow rate based on the pressure differential and the flow coefficient.
