This patent describes an air conditioning system having an air distribution duct and a temperature controlled zone communicating with the duct. The improvement described here consists of: an air flow damper disposed within the duct; first electronic sensor means disposed within the duct for directly sensing the actual velocity of air flow within the system; second electronic sensor means disposed within the zone for directly sensing the actual temperature of air within the zone; and means responsive to the relative outputs of the first and second electronic sensor means for controlling the amount of opening of the damper within the duct for regulating the air flow velocity through the duct.
