Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the disclosure describe a Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system and method for generating fire alerts for an indoor environment having a plurality of zones. The method comprises receiving, from an outside air temperature (OAT) sensor of the HVAC system, a current outside temperature value for an outdoor environment. Further, the method comprises receiving, from a zone sensor associated with the HVAC system, a current zone temperature value associated with a corresponding zone, from among the plurality of zones, in the indoor environment. Furthermore, the method comprises detecting, when the current zone temperature value is greater than the current outside temperature value, whether a rate of change of the current zone temperature value is greater than a predefined threshold value. Additionally, the method comprises generating a fire alert for the zone based on the detection step.
