Abstract
A controller for controlling a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system arranged to condition an environment according to HVAC setpoints is provided. The controller is configured to accept target values of thermal states at predetermined locations in the conditioned environment, current values of the thermal states at the predetermined locations in the conditioned environment, and current values of the HVAC setpoints. The controller is further configured to determine, using a neural network, target HVAC setpoints such that a difference in an operation of the HVAC system according to the target HVAC points with respect to the operation of the HVAC system according to the current HVAC setpoints changes thermal states in the predetermined locations in the conditioned environment from the current values of the thermal state to the target values of the thermal state.
