Abstract
A system includes an inlet to collect air from outside a building; an air filter coupled to the inlet; a baffle to receive air from the inlet; an actuator coupled to the baffle; one or more sensors exposed to air from the air filter to determine air quality; a controller coupled to the one or more sensors and the actuator, the controller closing the baffle if air quality is below a threshold; and an outlet positioned after the baffle to deliver air to the building.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an inlet to collect air from outside a building;
- an air filter coupled to the inlet;
- a baffle to receive air from the inlet;
- an actuator coupled to the baffle;
- one or more sensors exposed to air from the air filter to determine air quality;
- a controller coupled to the one or more sensors and the actuator, the controller closing the baffle if air quality is below a threshold;
- and
- an outlet positioned after the baffle to deliver air to the building, wherein the controller makes air characteristic entries on a blockchain with Proof of Work Collaborative (POW-C) with a wallet ledger where a result of transactions are coupled to a wallet address, wherein the controller applies elliptic curve digital signature, and wherein the controller communicates on a network with a security miner that oversees the network prior to one or more full nodes distributing workload to other miners, the controller programmed to allow all miners participating in a blockchain network to solve equations together, confirm transactions together, find new blocks together, and combine their work and calculations without having to compete, thereby supporting the POW-C and reducing the energy required to process a transaction.

- an actuator coupled to the baffle;
- one or more sensors exposed to air from the air filter to determine air quality;
- a controller coupled to the one or more sensors and the actuator, the controller closing the baffle if air quality is below a threshold, the controller controlling a make-up air system that automatically provides make-up air for exhausting equipment by bringing in outdoor air while not exhausting stale air and wherein the controller makes air characteristic entries on a blockchain with Proof of Work Collaborative (POW-C) with a wallet ledger, and wherein the controller communicates on a network with a security miner that oversees the network prior to one or more full nodes distributing workload to other miners, the controller programmed to allow all miners participating in the blockchain network to solve equations together, confirm transactions together, find new blocks together, and combine their work and calculations without having to compete, thereby supporting the POW-C and reducing the energy required to process a transaction;
