Climate control devices, systems and methods

A climate control device comprising,

• a housing, the housing further comprising at least one air handler for drawing exterior air from an exterior space through an exterior air inlet and discharging the exterior air through an exterior air outlet into an interior space, the housing further comprising an interior air exhaust for discharging interior air to the exterior space;
• an interior temperature sensor for detecting an interior temperature;
• an exterior temperature sensor for detecting an exterior temperature;
• a user interface for setting an interior target temperature;
• and
• a controller to:
• turn the air handler ON in a COOLING MODE when the interior temperature is above the interior target temperature and the exterior temperature is below the interior target temperature, OR turn the air handler ON in a HEATING MODE when the interior temperature is below the interior target temperature and the exterior temperature is above the interior target temperature, and
• turn the air handler ON to pre-condition the interior space by moving the interior temperature higher or lower than the interior target temperature, while staying within a specified temperature envelope, to maintain temperatures closer to the interior target temperature during night or day, and
• turn the climate control device OFF when the interior temperature is at or above the interior target temperature and the exterior temperature is at or above the interior temperature, OR when the interior temperature is at or below the interior target temperature and the exterior temperature is at or below the interior temperature.

A climate control device comprising,

• a housing, the housing further comprising at least one air handler for drawing exterior air from an exterior space through an exterior air inlet and discharging the exterior air through an exterior air outlet into an interior space, the housing further comprising an interior air exhaust for discharging interior air to the exterior space;
• an internal diverter, wherein the internal diverter blocks air movement between the exterior space and the interior space when the climate control device is OFF, and when the climate control device is ON, the internal diverter moves to allow air flow such that the exterior air discharged into the interior space is directed in one of an upward direction or a downward direction through the exterior air outlet while allowing interior air to be discharged out of the interior space through the interior air exhaust in an opposite direction of the exterior air discharged into the interior space;
• an interior temperature sensor for detecting an interior temperature;
• an exterior temperature sensor for detecting an exterior temperature;
• a user interface for setting an interior target temperature range;
• and
• a controller to:
• move the internal diverter to OPEN and turn the air handler ON in a COOLING MODE when the interior temperature is above the interior target temperature and the exterior temperature is below the interior target temperature, OR turn the air handler on in a HEATING MODE when the interior temperature is below the interior target temperature and the exterior temperature is above the interior target temperature, and
• turns the air handler OFF and moves the internal diverter to CLOSED when the climate control device OFF.

A climate control system comprising,

• a controller integrated with an HVAC system having at least one air handler for drawing exterior air from an exterior space through an exterior air inlet and discharging the exterior air through an exterior air outlet into an interior space, the HVAC system having further comprising an interior air exhaust for discharging interior air to the exterior space;
• an interior temperature sensor for detecting an interior temperature;
• an exterior temperature sensor for detecting an exterior temperature;
• a thermostat for setting an interior target temperature range;
• and
• the controller configured:
• to turn the HVAC system ON in a COOLING MODE when the interior temperature is above the interior target temperature range and the exterior temperature is below the interior target temperature range and a HEATING MODE when the interior temperature is below the interior target temperature range and the exterior temperature is above the interior target temperature range, and
• turn the HVAC system having OFF when the interior temperature interior is within the interior target temperature range.
