Abstract
A predictive heating system for a building zone includes building equipment, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a predictive heating controller. The building equipment is operable to affect an environmental condition of the building zone in a heating mode of operation and a cooling mode of operation. The temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the building zone. The humidity sensor is configured to measure humidify of the building zone. The predictive heating controller is configured to predict an occupancy time of the building zone over a future time period, determine a dehumidification time period before the occupancy time of the building zone, determine a heating time period before the occupancy time of the building zone, operate the building equipment to dehumidify the building zone over the dehumidification time period, and operate the building equipment to heat the building zone over the heating time period.
