Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and methods of use are described. The HVAC system includes at least one internal surface temperature sensor configured to provide an interior wall surface temperature measurement. The internal surface temperature sensor is positioned on an interior surface of an external wall of the residential house. The HVAC system also includes a control system in communication over a network with the internal surface temperature sensor. The control system is configured to obtain the interior wall surface temperature measurement and apply a home heat transfer model to determine a predicted space air temperature. The home heat transfer model is based on thermal dynamics of space air and building structure using the interior wall surface temperature measurement.
