Abstract
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system controllers are described herein. One HVAC controller includes a user interface configured to receive an indication of whether there is a positive or negative relationship between each of a number of controlled variables of an HVAC system and each of a number of manipulated variables of the HVAC system, a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to determine operating parameters for each of the number of manipulated variables, wherein the determined operating parameters are determined based, at least in part, on whether there is a positive or negative relationship between each respective controlled variable and each respective manipulated variable, and the determined operating parameters are not based on system dynamics and disturbances associated with the HVAC system. The determined operating parameters may be optimal with respect to the current condition of the HVAC system.
