Abstract

A controller and a related method that maintains thermal comfort in an occupied space at a user-defined level while simultaneously maximizing the efficiency of the space conditioning equipment. The controller determines the setting of heating/cooling capacity, indoor airflow rate, evaporator superheat and other system parameters such that a comfort constraint is satisfied. The comfort index may be any arbitrarily-defined relationship of measured or inferred quantities such as air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, mean radiant temperature, CO.sub.2 concentration, etc. The controller ensures that the error between comfort index and the comfort setpoint is zero while the energy consumed by the space conditioning equipment is minimized.
