Utility
Conditions Based Scheduling In an Hvac System
15 Apr 20
A method for automatically generating an HVAC schedule for a building includes storing a thermal model for the building, the thermal model including an indication of the energy efficiency of an HVAC system of the building, receiving a weather forecast predicting future weather at the location of the building, receiving a cost estimate for energy that will be supplied to the HVAC system, receiving from a user a desired budget for a cost of operating the HVAC system over a future period of time, using the thermal model, the weather forecast, the cost estimate for energy and the desired budget of the user to generate an HVAC schedule covering the future period of time that is predicted to meet the desired budget of the user and controlling the HVAC system using the generated HVAC schedule.
