A system and method for environmental management of a vehicle automatically operates a vehicle climate control system to defog a vehicle windshield, while still operating at or near environmental comfort guidelines determined by a vehicle occupant. The method may be executed by an HVAC control system that is configured with a preprogrammed algorithm to operate an HVAC to achieve the desired results. A number of sensors can provide inputs to the control system, which can also receive inputs from a number of manual overrides operable by an occupant of the vehicle. The preprogrammed algorithm is configured to act on the various inputs to operate the HVAC to strike an appropriate balance between occupant comfort and windshield defogging.

1. A system for environmental management of a vehicle, comprising: a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system;at least one manual override for controlling a respective function of the HVAC system; anda controller configured to control the HVAC system to automatically effect defogging
1. A system for environmental management of a vehicle, comprising: a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system;at least one manual override for controlling a respective function of the HVAC system; anda controller configured to control the HVAC system to automatically effect defogging based on at least one measured input when the at least one manual override is not selected, and to allow limited defogging when at least one manual override of the at least one manual override is selected. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one manual override includes a fan override, an air conditioning override, and a recirculation override. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein allowing limited defogging includes automatically effecting defogging with limited operation of at least one function of the HVAC system. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one manual override includes at least one of a fan override, an air conditioning override, and a recirculation override. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the at least one function of the HVAC system having limited operation is at least one of the fan operation and the air conditioning operation when the recirculation override is selected. 6. The system of claim 4, wherein the at least one function of the HVAC system having limited operation is the fan operation and the air conditioning operating when the recirculation override is not selected and one other of the at least one other manual overrides is selected. 7. A system for environmental management of a vehicle, comprising: a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system;a plurality of manual overrides for controlling respective functions of the HVAC system; anda controller configured to control the HVAC system to automatically effect defogging based on at least one measured input when none of the manual overrides is selected, and to allow limited defogging when at least one of the manual overrides is selected. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein allowing limited defogging includes automatically effecting defogging with limited operation of at least one function of the HVAC system. 9. A system for environmental management of a vehicle, comprising: a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system;a sensor for sensing an environmental condition;a plurality of manual overrides for controlling respective functions of the HVAC system; anda controller configured to receive inputs from the sensor and the manual overrides and to control the HVAC system based at least in part on the inputs received from the sensor and the manual overrides to: automatically effect defogging when none of the manual overrides is selected, andautomatically effect defogging with limited operation of at least one function of the HVAC system when at least one of the manual overrides is selected. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the manual overrides include a fan override, an air conditioning override, and a recirculation override. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one selected manual override includes the recirculation override, and the at least one function of the HVAC system having limited operation is at least one of the fan operation and the air conditioning operation. 12. The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one selected manual override includes the air conditioning override, and the at least one function of the HVAC system having limited operation is at least one of the fan operation and the air conditioning operation. 13. The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one selected manual override includes the fan override, and the at least one function of the HVAC system having limited operation is the air conditioning operation. 14. The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one selected manual override includes the fan override, the air conditioning override, and the recirculation override, and the at least one function of the HVAC system having limited operation is the air conditioning operation.
