Abstract
A method of generating coordinated roof top unit (RTU) control commands includes selecting a building segment, accessing a model corresponding to the segment, training the model with historical data, segment layout data, and heating/ventilation/cooling (HVC) configuration, pushing the trained model to a wireless area controller in communication with thermostats in the segment, optimizing the trained first model using aggregated monitored data provided by sensors distributed in the segment, generating control commands to coordinate the operation of the thermostats, providing the control commands to the thermostats, receiving monitored data from the sensors, aggregating the received monitored data, and the wireless area controller optimizing and/or updating the model with the aggregated received data. A system to implement the method and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing executable instructions are also disclosed.
