Abstract
A heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system for a building includes one or more processing circuits having one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media containing program instructions. When executed by the one or more processors, the instructions cause the one or more processors to perform operations including providing an optimization function for operating HVAC equipment over a future time period including a plurality of time steps and using the optimization function to generate a time series of temperature setpoints for the plurality of time steps in the future time period. The time series of temperature setpoints achieve a target value of the optimization function over the future time period. The operations include operating the HVAC equipment to drive indoor air temperature toward a first temperature setpoint of the time series of temperature setpoints for a first time step of the plurality of time steps.
