I have an Emerson thermostat that claims to have a feature called cool

I tried to Google this feature and Emerson says its designed to adjust
the programmed set point temperature during high demand use of a central
air conditioner. I think they mean that the thermostat will call on the
variable speed fan/ECM fan will blow faster to similate cooler air,
without the compressor running all the time, but that's just my guess

I can't really get any more information other than that.

I've only had this blower unit/furnace and thermostat for 4 months so no
history with it. Today was first day using the aircond this year
however A coil and compressor unit are 14 years old, and were run on a
different thermostat the past 13 summers.

Anyone care to explain what this feature is and how it works? Emerson
"Cool Savings"

I can't explain. My HVAC unit has a feature that calls the blower on
low, as to re circulate the already cool air in the home. It later
calls the AC on and the compressor starts.

Like that?

I guess. I suppose the blower will help dehumidify making the air feel
cooler without calling on the compressor all the time?

On mine it's called from the thermostat and there are 6 different
settings but the manual doesn't really explain how the feature really
works. Is yours called from the thermostat or the control board?

This is their explanation, which explains little.. It's from White
Rodgers' Youtube page
