In the present scenario of energy saving policies, the heating and cooling practices of various buildings and structures have become an important excise for the today's comfort seeking generation. In this context, the effectiveness and the advancements in the working performance of the various devices involved have become the keen interest of researcher from the cost perspectives. Keeping this in view, the smart air conditioning systems are need to be developed through intensive research and development activities.
yes..when your outside temp higher than 28C..beyond the thermal comfort range
Yes you are right. Today people are very much concerned about the high energy consumpion which implies spending more money on that. This concern lead researchers to seek ways and means to reduce energy consumption by devicing more efficient equipment and inventing rigorous control devices to control the indoor environment.
That is correct. Net zero energy buildings strive to conserve energy by optimizing the use of the HVAC systems. In the U.S., it is estimated that 40% and up to 60% of the energy use in buildings goes into the HVAC systems.
Yale University, for example, has a LEED platinum certified building called the Kroon building. It was decided to charge the start time of the heating system in the winter time from 5 am to 7 am in order to reduce the energy use.
Hope this helps answer your question.

A lot of attention is given to how to reduce the transfer of heat between the building envelop and the surrounding. New building insulation materials are being investigated, smart building management systems are being introduced. Manufacturers of HVAC equipment are competing vividly to increase the coefficient of performance of these equipment. All these efforts in the end are directed towards achieving reductions in energy consumption.
