Abstract
A heating, ventilating, or air conditioning (HVAC) system that operates equipment to affect a physical property of an environment. The HVAC system obtains schedules including two time periods during which a criterion for the physical property of a environment is to be satisfied (for example, occupied time periods) and a third time period occurring between the two time periods during which the criterion need not be satisfied (for example, unoccupied time periods). The HVAC system performs one prediction of the physical property forward from the end of the middle time period and one prediction backward from the last of the three time periods to determine a transition period during the second time period within which to operate the equipment by finding an intersection of the predictions. The HVAC system controls the equipment during the transition time period to satisfy the criterion at the beginning of the last time period.
