Abstract
A climate control system for the interior of a vehicle includes infrared sensing to measure thermal level therein and to provide a signal to the system control for establishing and maintaining the thermal level to a level preset by a vehicle occupant. The viewing field and admissibility of the infra-red sensor determines the composition of the signal by controlling the objects, surfaces, area and radiation included in the field. Appropriate selection of viewing field and admissibility integrates into the signal corrective factors for external climatic conditions and solar re-radiation within the vehicle.
