Abstract
For controlling the flow of air into the zones (Z, Z, Z, Zi) of a variable air volume HVAC system () having actuator driven dampers (D, D, D, Di), which operate in a range from a minimum damper position to a maximum damper position for adjusting the flow of air into a zone (Z, Z, Z, Zi), flow measurement values and current damper positions are transmitted via a telecommunications network () to a cloud-based HVAC control center (). Using the flow measurement values and calibration values, which indicate HVAC system parameters at a defined calibration pressure in the HVAC system () and at different damper positions, the cloud-based HVAC control center () calculates the minimum damper position for the actuators (A, A, A, Ai), such that the pressure in the HVAC system () does not exceed a defined maximum pressure threshold, and transmits the minimum damper position to the actuators.
