The present invention is related to the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). More particularly, the present invention is related to methods and systems for controlled heating and cooling in order to reduce costs and the carbon footprint of said heating and cooling by optimizing the use of fresh air ventilation. The present invention is directed to mathematical algorithms incorporated into a controller and a method of determining control signals that are dependent on said mathematical algorithms and user programming that integrates information from multiple sensors, thermostats as well as weather information. Used in any home or building, the controller controls heating, cooling and ventilation systems in order to reduce costs and the carbon footprint of said heating and cooling by optimizing the use of fresh air ventilation. The controller works with typical HVAC systems generally in buildings and homes. The Smart-Stat algorithms are programmed into the controller and enable the controller to identify user-determined set-points alongside data from one or multiple internal temperature sensors. The user-determined set-points are also linked to time of day and day of week in a manner typical for typical thermostat devices available today. In such typical thermostat devices the controller will call for cooling or heating depending on the set points and conditions determined by the sensors in the building. The present invention is capable of interrupting the call for cooling or heating depending on whether the mathematical algorithms identify suitable outside weather conditions that permit the use of outside air cooling or outside air heating. Thus the call for heating or cooling can be redirected to call for ventilation instead of heating or cooling.

A multi-level shelf degas station relying on at least two heaters integrated within wafer holding shelves or slots, where the semiconductor wafers do not have direct contact with the heater shelves. The heaters provide conduction heating. In order to degas a wafer, the heater and wafer holder assembly is positioned in a sequential manner through each wafer slot to the next available slot. If a degassed wafer exists in the slot, a transfer chamber arm removes it. A loader arm then places a wafer in the available, empty slot and the stage is moved upwards to receive the wafer from the loader arm. The transfer chamber arm removes an individual wafer from the heater and wafer holder assembly allowing the removed wafer to be individually processed while the other wafers remain in the heater and wafer holder assembly. In some instances, a loader arm may also remove wafers. The remaining wafers in the heater and wafer holder assembly are subjected to further degas treatment while the wafer(s) removed by the transfer chamber arm are exposed to other process steps. Air-cooling chambers are employed to facilitate cooling the wafer slots for ease of removal and maintenance.

A disk drive box 10 accommodates a plurality of disk drives 20 within a case 11. A side face of each of the drives 20 is provided with a heat-absorbing part 40 including a heat pipe, corresponding to heat producing area HP.
