Abstract
A method is provided for controlling an HVAC system. The method includes obtaining observations of a measured temperature by at least one temperature sensor, and accessing a lumped-element model of the at least one temperature sensor in which a change in the measured temperature is expressed as a function of one or more independent variables including the measured temperature, and unknown parameter(s) including an ambient temperature of the conditioned space. A regression analysis of the lumped-element model is performed using observations of the one or more independent variables including the observations of the measured temperature, and estimates of the unknown parameter(s), to determine updated estimates of the unknown parameter(s) including an updated estimate of the ambient temperature. A value of the ambient temperature is determined from the updated estimate of the ambient temperature, and HVAC equipment is controlled using the value of the ambient temperature.
